Ritchie Valens was an amazing man who cared a lot about his music and family. Sadly Ritchie‘s life ended alongside fellow musicians Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson professionally known as the Big Bopper, on February 3rd, 1959 in clear lake Iowa from a plane crash. Ritchie was terribly afraid of planes ever since his friend was killed by a falling plane when he was younger. If you’re interested in more about Ritchie I suggest watching the 1987 film La Bamba.
