Rick was preceded in death by his parents, his beloved sister Sandy, and two devoted service dogs, Dillon and Vidor.

Throughout his life, Rick's indomitable spirit and strength inspired all who knew him. Despite encountering adversity at a young age when he was paralyzed in a gymnastics accident, Rick's determination to embrace life never faltered. Supported by his loyal friends and loving family, he pursued his passions with endless courage.
