With deep sorrow, we bid farewell to Rick Sparks, the unforgettable Sparky! He was my favorite teacher, swapping tests for donuts in class. A proud Griz football player, he enriched my life with wisdom and kindness. I’ll always remember back-talking in high school, earning me the task of cleaning his messy Butte apartment. His dislike for sassy teens often got me in trouble, yet we forged a great friendship. He wowed us with amazing Griz tailgate meals. Bold as ever, he’d ask for donations without hesitation—now it’s our time to give back. Please help his beloved wife Kathy and family with a contribution to his funeral expenses. Every bit counts. ❤️
