Rick was a devoted believer. His faith in Jesus was the foundation of his life. He loved the Lord. He was one of the hardest working men alive who taught by example. He loved to travel and play golf. And he loved to laugh.
Despite his hard journey with health issues over the years, Rick prevailed each day with hope. His courage, strength and determination were impactful to everyone who knew him. He never gave up.
He will so be missed as a husband, as a father, as a brother and an uncle. as a friend to so many and as Papa Rick to his grandkids. In the midst of the sadness, his family rejoices that Rick is healthy, joyful and complete at the feet of his Savior.
He is survived by his wife, Pam Ruby; his two children Brandon and his wife Kathryn; Brittney and her husband Mark; his grandkids, Hayes, Hudson, Colton, and Parker. Pam's children Matt and his wife Liz, Kristen and her husband Josh; and Pam's grandchildren Benjamin, Oliver, Trevor, Claire and Ryan. Rick's sisters Debbie and Dee, and his brother Ron. He was preceded in death by his sister Linda.
A celebration of life will be held at Carmel Baptist Church, Monday March 8th, at 4:30, 1145 Pineville-Matthews Rd, Matthews, NC 28105.
