Dear Rose, Justin, and Nathan.
I am sorry for your loss. Rick was a loving father and husband and good friend to my family. I hope that your hearts will eventually heal from his passing. We will never forget the times that your family would come over every year for the 4th of July to set off fireworks with our family. For years Rick would light those fireworks off. It was so much fun.
I remember Rick as a handy man. He was able to fix almost anything and was really good with electronics. He was a hard worker and was almost always cheerful. He was a Godly man and influenced me in a positive way. He was a close friend to our family he will surely be missed.
Sincerely, 
Fletcher Theobald

We were so sad to hear the news. Our hearts and prayers are with your family, Rose. Rick was always smiling and serving. He had a way of making other just feel genuinely cared for.  There is comfort knowing he is face to face with the Lord now, but such grief in the void of having him here, I’m sure.  We will continue to hold up your family across the miles.
