Ric had 4 children. Sons, Heath Lawson, Brian Lawson, and Samuel Lawson. And beloved daughter, Fallon Lawson. Although he rarely saw his boys he loved them very much. He and Fallon were two peas in a pod. His "baby girl". They were inseparable. As much as he loved Fallon, When Fallons 4 children were born they became his entire world. He was a devoted grandfather to his 4 grandchildren, Preston David, Deagen David, Charlotte David and Avery David. He left his estate to them. Everything he did was for them. He was the most wonderful PaPa. Taught them everything they know and shaped them into the wonderful people they are today. All he ever talked about was Preston, Deagen, Charlotte and Avery. Everyone knew him for that.

Ric had an unknown number of grandchildren from his 3 sons.
