Richard Crapser Obituary

Richard Michael Crapser was born on October 30th, 1968 and passed away August 31st. His amazing parents Dean and Lorraine welcomed their 2nd son with open arms. As the years followed along came sister Wendee and then brother Ryan. Rick graduated from Ferndale High School and was active in both wrestling and football. Rick was a natural born mechanical wizard. If you had anything that needed tweaking Rick was your guy. Rick was preceded in death by his parents, Dean and Lorraine as well as his big brother Rob, late wife Kris, grandparents, Stan and Norma Crapser, and Jim and Mary Aregger, Uncle Jack Aregger, Uncle Dick Aregger and his wife Jennifer, and cousin Mike Aregger. So many losses that are hard to comprehend. Rick is survived by his wife Kelli, children Joey, Maddy and Brittney, his sister Wendee, (husband Lance) son Tanner Dawson, brother Ryan, (wife Julie), and Ryan's son Kyler, step daughters Britinee and Nickee Gwinner, nieces Courtney, Kayla, and Alyssa Crapser, nephew Justin Crapser and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, great nieces and nephews. A celebration of life will be held at the Sandy Point Clubhouse @4460 Decatur Drive, Ferndale, Wa. on Friday September 9th from 1:00 to 5:00 pm. Potluck and BYOB.

Rick was best friends with my better half Robert (Bobby) Davis lll. They grew up threw their teen years into adults. They had MANY adventures together and it was always good to see him. He was always so full of life and had a big smile on his face. Rick was a genius when it came to mechanics and could fix Anything. He was a great friend. We didn't see him as much over the past few years, but whenever we did he always had that big smile. He will be missed dearly. Heaven is celebrating as he is with his wife again. RIP Crapser.
