Richard Faulkner Obituary
Rick was born Dec. 22, 1972 to Sandra (Roop) Faulkner and Fredrick N. Faulkner.
He went to Middletown High School. He was a jack-of-all-trades and knew how to do just about anything. Rick truly loved animals, nature, fishing, crabbing, camping, and especially being on the water in his kayak always taking his beloved guinea pig, Buddy, with him. Rick was a good-hearted person and was happiest living life the way he wanted to, not listening to anybody but doing things his way. There was no changing him. He walked to the beat of his own drum. He always said that he was on vacation every day.
He was so proud of his only child, Richard Jay Faulkner, II who is a Sergeant in the U.S. Army and is stationed in Fort Stewart, Ga. He became a grandfather for the 1st time to his beautiful granddaughter, Iris Faye.
Rick was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, June and Luther Roop; his paternal grandparents, Iris and George Faulkner; his aunt, Cyndi Compton; his uncle, Randy Roop; and his nephew, Rodney Faulkner.
Rick will be dearly missed by his parents, Rick and Sandy; his son, Rick and his wife Megan; and many other extended family members.
A visitation will be held on Saturday, Feb. 8, 2020 at 11 a.m. in the Faries Funeral Chapel, located at 29 South Main Street in Smyrna. A Christian service will begin at 12 p.m. Burial will be private.

I'm so sorry to hear the loss of his passing. He was too young. Even though we weren't close we are still family and we feel the loss of one of our own. Time will heal the pain and memories and stories will last forever. Love always your Arizona cousin
