When Rick and Jewels met, everyone knew they were a perfect fit. As often said, they were both broken people who leaned on each other for strength and somehow through it all they flourished and grew every day. They were each other’s bookends and better people by knowing one other. Loving each other was one of the greatest experiences they ever knew.
Rick protected and loved his sister Stephanie unconditionally. He loved everyone with all of his heart. He had the best sense of humor and was always able to make you laugh and he lit up the room. He was the best brother anyone could ask for.
He loved and cared for his stepchildren Jami, Kehly, and Kimberly as if they were his own. He was involved in their school, church, dances and sports. Rick brought the family together by gathering for meals, camping and vacationing.
Rick loved to spend his time outdoors where he felt most at home. He enjoyed camping, 4 wheeling, hunting and fishing with friends, nephews and cousins. He was king of the campfire where he also often shared his mastery of playing the harmonica.
He was an amazing nephew, uncle and cousin. He was a mentor to all whom he spent time with, he knew how to make everyone feel important and special. Rick had a way to make everything fun. He was an amazing, kind and loving man and will be missed dearly.
