It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Ricky "Rick" James Eger, 68, on Monday, June 30, 2025, after a brief illness. Rick was born in Green Bay, WI on April 21, 1957, to Charles and Arlene Eger.
Rick was a talented graphic designer with passions for fishing, music (especially The Beatles), watching The Lawrence Welk Show with a cocktail, and the Green Bay Packers. He treasured time spent with family and friends and will be remembered for his warmth and sense of humor.
Rick is survived by his beloved wife, Cindy (Barth), his siblings: Karen Muehl, Susan (Steve) Soderlund, Mark Eger, mother-in-law Mary Ann Barth and brother-in-law Jim Barth. He is further survived by nieces, nephews, cousins, and too many friends to count.
He is preceded in death by his parents, brother Jeffrey Eger, father-in-law Edward Barth, brother-in-law Tom Muehl, sister-in-law Vicki (Dave) Krause, and sister-in-law Terri Barth.
Rick was a kind soul and caretaker to many. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
Special thanks to those who cared for Rick during his illness, especially the entire Bellin Healthcare teams, Bellin and St. Vincent's Hospitals, and Unity Hospice.
A memorial gathering will be held on Tuesday, July 8 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM at Pfotenhauer Funeral Home & Cremation Services, Howard-Suamico, 1145 Cardinal Lane. A memorial service will immediately follow. Online condolences are welcome at www.PfotenhauerFuneralHome.com.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Rick's memory to the American Cancer Society, PBS Wisconsin, or the Wisconsin Humane Society-Green Bay Campus.

We first met Rick at a few outings with the Geezers. Plans were made for him to join Dave and I (Beekeeper Dave) on some fishing trips. What a joy. Diane and I had a great time enjoying Carbon Road last year. We will miss him, but will never forget.
