The day after his son's passing, Rick shared an image to social media of he and his son sitting at a restaurant together.

"You will always be in my heart!" the 58-year-old captioned his post, adding a broken heart emoji. "I love you Adam."

A few days later, he shared older photos of the two from Adam's childhood, captioning the Jan. 24 post, "Amazing memories."
