Richard Fifield Obituary

Richard "Ricky" Fifield, 49, of Great Falls, died of cardiac arrest Friday at a local hospital.
Services are 11 a.m. Wednesday at Saint John's Lutheran Church. O'Connor Funeral Home is handling arrangements.
Ricky was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. He had a passion for building which allowed him to build his dream home. He also had a love for the great outdoors, and most of all for his best companion, his dog, Colette.
Ricky is survived by his mother, Mae Fifield of Great Falls; close friend Karen Borgioli and her daughters, Nicki and Michelle of Helena; his siblings Lolly Schafer of Billings, Denny Fifield of Glasgow, Ky., Ronald (Mimi) Fifield of Puyallup, Wash.; Terry (Barb) Fifield and Jason Fifield, all of Seattle; Lois (Tim) Connell of Santa Cruz, Calif., and Debbie Burnett of Plains; and many nieces and nephews.
He will be greatly missed by all of his many family and friends.
