Second-Generation Craftsman and Co-Founder of Rico Monuments
Tracey Rico grew up around stone. As a young man, he began helping at Comolli Memorials, where his father Manny worked before launching a new family venture. That early exposure to the craft — and the care it required — laid the groundwork for what would become his life’s work.
In 1986, Tracey helped his parents, Manny and Barbara Rico, establish Rico Monuments, transforming a shared vision into a family business founded on quality, compassion, and faith. From engraving to installation, Tracey dedicated himself to every detail — helping build the company’s strong reputation for service and excellence.
Alongside his wife, Dainah, Tracey continued the legacy through the second generation, raising their children in the business and contributing to its steady growth for nearly four decades.
His son Blaine now carries the torch as the third-generation owner, but the values Tracey helped instill — dedication, integrity, and a deep respect for every life honored — remain etched into every monument.
