Unexpected loss of Richard Rowes

Donation protected
Hello, my names Katie, I am Richard's niece. I dont know how to really put into words what has happened. In June our family lost my Grandfather (Richard's dad) we were all just getting back to a new normal and we were notified. That Richard know more as Ricky to his close friends and family has passed away on Thursday. We were not at all ready for this shock. He was outside taking Gizmo his bestfriend and sidekick for a walk before he hit the road again, and had an unknown medical episode and was found by the neighbors. Ricky was many things to many people he was a dedicated truck driver, politician for the people, a engineer, son, brother,, and uncle, and honestly just a good guy. This loss was unexpected and tragic. Richard was preceed in death by his Father and Mother Richard and Debra Rowe.. Ricky has left behind his sister Laura, brother in Law Michael ,2 nephews Dylan and Joshua and myself As well as his Aunt Cindy Namoski, cousins Leanne and Brittany Gettle. At this time because of the delay in getting family notified we do not have a exact memorial planned however, there will be a small celebration of life. I will post updates on that information here. Ricky's final project is now also now in our hands as well that was the demolition and remodel of his child hood home. Ricky wouldn't want us to ask nor would he expect any help with the cost of everything, he quite honestly would tell you to go have a beer and a steak for him but don't cry over him. Ricky was that guy who had everyone else's best intrest at heart well before his own. He would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it.. it would be a solid black button up because its all he owned but he would make sure you had what you needed. Anything is greatly appreciated by the family. Thank you to everyone who knew him, loved him, looked up to him. Our family has gone threw a lot this year and now this, even your thoughts and prayers are comforting and appreciated.
