Richard Hugh "Rick" DeForest

Ricks' locker was next to mine at Woodward. We both had a common passion for riding motorcycles. I really never got to know him, but could see he was a free spirited kind of guy. I remember the day he told me he was diagnosed at work. This deeply saddened me and from that day on, the bible study i attended twice a week, i made it a common prayer for him. Now that Rick has passed, my memories are looking at his name tag on his locker next to mine and wondering when he'll be back to work and...

Good bye sweet Rick

RIP my friend. I won't be able to make the celebration of your life in person but my thoughts are with your family and friends. Ride on!

My deepest condolences to the entire DeForest family. Rick was a wonderful, giving, amazing soul. Although it'd been many years, I was blessed to know him.
Rest easy Rick, we will meet again .

When I lived in Colorado in Wellington Rick was one of my close neighbors and he was always quick with a smile ready for a ride and was the best dam bar tender in Northern Colorado you'll be greatly missed I can't even contain myself at this point so I'm going to stop here!

Ride in peace brother !!!

Rick was one of the greatest things in my life. He was there for me in childhood and adulthood guiding me along the way. He was a prominent father figure who always made the time for me. My deepest condolences to the family.
