Ricky Lloyd is mentioned on the Dead Rising 2 viral website Tape it or Die. He was a friend and college acquaintance of Gretchen Peregrine. He was described as an unfit and unhealthy individual. While in college, he used to bake and offer Gretchen cookies, and after being turned down he would ingest them himself. After graduating, Ricky moved to Willamette to pursue a career in water sanitation. As he did not appear in Dead Rising as a survivor in any form, it was presumed that he had died.
