Rick was a well-known local businessman with a deep passion for real estate and home renovation.

He had a wide range of interests and hobbies, and he lived life with energy and curiosity.

More than anything, Rick loved his family. He was a devoted father and grandfather who cherished every moment spent with those he loved. His faith was the foundation of his life, and he loved Jesus deeply. Rick was a dedicated member of Free Chapel, where his faith and community were an important part of who he was.
