Rick Paisley Obituary
Rick Paisley
TUCSON, AZ: Rick Paisley, born May 26, 1955 in Zanesville Ohio, entered eternal life surrounded by his family at home on June 24, 2015.
He is survived by his mother, Jean Paisley; sister, Jana Gee; brother-in-law, Alan Gee; niece, Briana Gee; and nephew, Alec Gee; as well as extended family in Tucson and Ohio.
He is preceded in death by his dad, Richard Paisley.
The family would like to thank Dr. Martha Miller. She lovingly took care of Rick for years. She talked with him, made him laugh, and made sure he had the best care and comfort at all times.
A Memorial mass will be held at 10am on Thursday, July 2, 2015 at Corpus Christi Catholic Church, 300 N. Tanque Verde Loop. Any desired remembrances would be welcomed to the Corpus Christi Music Department.

When I heard the news of Rick's passing, I was reminded of the joy I used to have when we played pool in his basement in Zanesville. He would win more games than he lost. God bless you, Jean and Jana. Rick was a shining light in a dark world.

Rick - I will always remember you as a friend I am so thankful to have had in my life.
On several occasions through the years I'd recall your determination and matter-of-fact assessments of situations to serve as inspiration to me.
You were at times both a confidant and the one to keep me in check as only Jana's big brother could. I thank you for all the memories sir and Godspeed to you on this new journey you've begun.

I'll always remember the help Rick gave to my mother with all her mail and magazines when she was still alive. Since I moved here, Rick has always been helpful and always had a smile and a good word. Jerry and I will miss him riding his bike through the area. May God hold him in his arms and bless you in this time of sorrow.

Sorry for your loss. My twin brother and I went to the first 4 years of school with Rick. At Wilson School he was always fun to be with.
