Richard Keclik Obituary
Rick was born Jan. 4, 1958, as the youngest of five children to James and Margaret Keclik in Berwyn, Ill. The Keclik household was full of love, fellowship, sibling mischief and great food. In the '80s, Rick visited one of his brothers in Miami, Fla., and never left. He met his wife, Lucia, and had two daughters, Alexandra and Julieanna.
Rick had a mild, kind-hearted demeanor with witty one-liners that family and friends always enjoyed and will miss. He was a classic rock trivia whiz and was the family's go-to cook. He enjoyed watching Jeopardy and football, college and pro. Rick read the newspaper cover-to-cover and never missed a Wordle. He was always on the hunt for good food and craft beers. He took good care of his pets, but most of all, he loved spending time with family, especially his infant granddaughter. He ascended into heaven as "Free Bird" played, surrounded by family and friends. They were truly blessed to have Ricky in their lives.
A memorial mass will be held at St. Michael Catholic Church in Fernandina Beach, Fla., at 11 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 22, 2022.
Donations can be made in his memory to the American Lung Association or the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.
