He was predeceased by three of his grandparents; his father, Paul; and his stepbrother, David.
Rick's dog Sallie had become the love of his life for the past three years. Rick would be happy to know that we have found a good loving home for Sallie.

Rest in peace Rick - your suffering is over; we will love you and remember you always. A family memorial will be held at a future date.
