On August 10, 1992, Rick married Joanna Richards in Carthage, Missouri. She has preceded him in death as well as a brother, Emmett Lovell.
Those left to mourn his passing include his children, Amanda Lovell of Joplin, Rebecca Lovell of Boliver, Missouri and Joshua Lovell of Carthage; three grandchildren, Madilynn, Griffin and Charlotte; one sister, Michele Lovell of Carthage; a host of extended family and friends.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.
