Rickey is preceded in death by his parents, one brother Mike VanDyne and one great grandson Jaxon VanDyne.

Rickey loved his family above anything else in this world, he was the best husband, father, papa and friend.  He spent his time camping with friends when he could and also called them his family.  He was loved by so many and will be greatly missed by all.

  4. I am so sorry to hear of Rick passing. I got to know him over the last few years from the hospital. I always enjoyed talking with you guys. Rick was a pretty cool guy. He was a tough cookie and beat alot stuff along his way. May he rest in peace and may God help you find peace with knowing he fixed him and he is whole again.
