Sharon, we are deeply saddened for your loss. Rick was a man one could not easily forget after meeting him. His love of cars prompted many comments from friend & family as they checked out each new vehicle..We hope your good memories of your life with him will bring you comfort.

Aunt Sharon, I am so sorry for your loss. Anyone who has ever met Rick Evans knows what a character he was. Growing up whenever we visited Lima my sisters and I stayed at Uncle Rick and Aunt Sharon´s house. Uncle Rick was always very welcoming to us. He made sure we had whatever we needed. As well as all the sweets we wanted. It was always easy to see how much Uncle Rick loved and loved caring for Aunt Sharon. This love he shared for Aunt Sharon is what I will remember most about him.

My wife and I were neighbors of Rick and Sharon for 14 years.I know some didn't like his boldness but we got along great.We did things for each other whether it was mowing one another's lawn when the other just couldn't or getting the mail having many conversations.I will truly miss him.
