Richard "Rick" Ziegler

Richard "Rick" Scott Ziegler, age 59, passed away on Thursday, April 12, 2018 at Ochsner Medical Center, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was a resident of Denham Springs, Louisiana and a native of Baltimore, Maryland. Rick is survived by his loving wife, Meredith "Kay" Frosch Ziegler, her children, and grandchildren, his daughters, Michelle Ziegler, and Christine Ziegler, granddaughter, Tara Herring, mother, Rosalie Taber Zillig, and her husband, David Zillig, aunt, Suzy Fair, and father, Richard E. Ziegler. He is preceded in death by his brothers, Robin Ziegler and Keith Ziegler, also his four legged "son", Roux. Rick was loving husband, father, and son. Rick unselfishly dedicated himself to teaching and mentoring fellow employees in the Power and HVAC division of United Rentals. As a 34-year employee, Rick worked as a project manager/ technical support for United Rentals Power and HVAC. Rick relocated from Maryland to Louisiana following Hurricane Katrina helping provide housing for volunteers working to restore New Orleans. Anyone who met him, came to love, respect, and admire the patient, caring way he shared his experience, knowledge, and time. He loved the outdoors and watersports. He embraced life with his own unique sense of humor and practical jokes. Rick was born a "Yankee", but became a true "Southern" boy. Last year, Rick was given the precious gift of extended life through lung transplant. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Rick's name to Ochsner's Multi-Organ Transplant Center. A memorial visitation will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at Seale Funeral Home in Denham Springs, LA from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Please leave condolences at www.sealefuneral.com.
