Richard B. Ferguson

December 9, 1945 – September 28, 2025

Richard B. Ferguson, more affectionately known as Rick, was born on December 9, 1945, at the Dallas Hospital and passed away on September 28, 2025, in Bend, Oregon.

Rick grew up in Falls City, where he spent his youth hunting and fishing with friends and family. He enjoyed playing high school football and basketball until a knee injury in his junior year ended his sports career. He graduated from Falls City High School in 1964 and went on to work at Boise Cascade in Valsetz Oregon until the mill closed in 1984. He then worked for the City of Falls City and later at Schuler Cabinets in Salem, where he drove a forklift.

Rick was also a dedicated volunteer fireman with the Falls City Fire Department until 1989. It was there he met his future wife, Andi. They were married on Valentine's Day in 1992 and moved to La Pine, Oregon, later that same year. Rick then worked for JELD-WEN Windows & Doors in Bend, Oregon, until 1999, when a work-related injury led to his retirement on disability.

In his free time, Rick loved the outdoors. He especially enjoyed hunting deer and elk, fishing for trout and steelhead, camping with friends and family, or simply taking a scenic afternoon drive with his wife.

Rick is survived by his loving wife of 33 years, Andi; his children: son, Darin Ferguson and his wife Jessica; daughter, Debbie Gregg and her husband Troy; his grandchildren, Tiffany Dannehl, Caleb, Caeden, and Colbie Gregg; and his brothers, Dean and Steve Ferguson; any many more cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Don and Erma Ferguson, and his older brother, Duane Ferguson.

A Celebration of Life will be held on October 11, 2025 at the Falls City Community Center, from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m.
