💙 In Loving Memory of Rich Diaz 💙
It is with heavy hearts that the Diamond Dave's Casino Events family shares the passing of our dear friend and dealer, Rich.
Rich was 59 years old — a California kid who found his way to Arizona and made it a better place just by being here. To those of us lucky enough to know him, he was so much more than a colleague. He was a high school friend, a genuinely good human being, and the kind of person who would do anything for anybody without a second thought.
Rich had a demeanor and attitude that were simply one of a kind. No matter the night, no matter the crowd, he always showed up with a smile on his face and made everyone around him feel at ease. That's a rare gift.
We are grateful for every moment we shared with him, and we will carry his warmth with us at every table, every event, from here on out.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this incredibly difficult time. May they find comfort in knowing how deeply he was loved by so many.
Rest easy, Rich. You were one of the good ones.
