Richard ( aka: Rick or Stick) James Little, Sr.

Richard James Little Sr., affectionately known as Rick or Stick, passed away on June 4, 2025, at the age of 68 in Marysville, WA. Born on February 13, 1957, Rick was known for his hardworking nature, always ready to lend a helping hand with a teddy bear-like heart. He was passionate about his hobbies, took pride in his work, and was deeply devoted to his loved ones.
Rick embarked on a lifelong career that began with running equipment on construction sites during his high school years. His career took a brief turn into logging for a decade before he returned to his true passion of construction. Over 35 years, Rick dedicated himself to the construction industry, working for various companies until his retirement.
Following this, his love for Harleys led him to open Rick's Motorcycle Repair Shop, a venture that combined his skills and interests into a successful business.
Outside of work, Rick was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed camping, hunting, and fishing. Riding his Harley and spending quality time with family and friends were among his favorite ways to unwind.
Rick leaves behind a loving family, including his daughters, Diana and Jami, ( and son-in-law Dane Dorsey); his son, Richard Jr.; six grandchildren, Justuce, Chance, Tyler, Gaven, Tanner, and Danica; and three great-grandchildren, Rylan, Finnley, and Lyla. He also leaves behind two sisters, Rona and Mary Ann; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, Ed Little; mother, Darlene Todd; and brother, James Little.
Rick's life was a testament to his enduring spirit and commitment to his family, friends and passions. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
