Richard Alan Fracassa

Richard Fracassa, affectionately known as Ricky, Zeke, and most recently Baba, passed away at home on September 29, 2025, at the age of 68, after a short battle with cancer.

Rick was born in Augsburg, Germany, and raised in Warren, Michigan. He was the beloved husband of Kay Cee, proud father of Jason (Kelsey) and Kristine (Tyler), and the adoring grandfather of Tyler and Myles, who brought him immeasurable joy. He is also survived by his mother, Phyllis, his brother Dave (Kelly), and his sisters Kathy (Mick) and Suzy. He was preceded in death by his father, Albert.

Rick lived his life with endless zest. He loved nothing more than spending time with his family and grandchildren, who were the center of his world. Known for his larger-than-life spirit, Rick embraced every day to the fullest. He enjoyed Reggae music, football, bonfires, Italian food & wine, trinkets, and golf.

His love, energy, and laughter will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Visitation will be held Thursday, October 2, 2:00-7:00pm, at Lynch & Sons Funeral Directors, 1368 N. Crooks Rd., Clawson MI. Words from the family and homily will occur at 6:00pm.
