Rico Dunn is 24-years-old and is a LaGrange citizen. Rico went to Callaway High School and was a football player for the school, according to his Facebook page. Family members of Rico asked me to share the following statement: “Rico lost his mother and father at a early age, he struggled with school after such tragedy but he came to Atlanta where he received his high school diploma! Rico loved anything that contain outside wildlife, fishing was his life, he loved dogs, fish, turtles,snakes anything could be his pet! Rico was a very care person that would do anything for anybody whether he knew how to do it or not he would try!” Rico’s big heart, a wonderful laugh, and his goodness will be missed.
