and loving son-in-law to Vance and Carol Smith.
Beloved Husband to Emily Smith Gergis.
Loving Father to his most precious Daughter Mackenna.
Rick is also survived by his beautiful Sisters, Polly (Gus) Sesi and Lisa Johnstone; and his brother-in-law, Nathan (Ashley) Smith, and sister-in-law, Shelby (Bankole) Smith. He was the cherished nephew of Ramzi Gergis, Sue (Louie) Boji, and Morey (Renee) Gergis, and will be forever remembered by all his cousins, nephews, nieces, and friends.
