Rick Hatfield Obituary

Mother and Joe,
Soon after meeting Rick for the first time I knew he had something figured out about life that most people never figure out. He knew what was important in life, and focused on those things - family and friends came first. He was ever optimistic, no matte the situation, and could make someone feel like a close friend after an hour of knowing them. He was always inquisitive of the world around him - having a schoolboy like spark in his eyes. He had so much to give to the world and I am deeply saddened he is gone. I love you mother and my deepest condolences go to you, Vicki, Jo, and anyone else who deeply felt the loss as you all must have.
Best,
Stephen M Smith

Rick, you were my best friend, the Love of my Life. I will miss you so very much. I will see you again....SOMEDAY.

Dear Jo and Vicki Jo
I was so sorry to hear about Rick. I would love to hear from you. I am working on a family album and need your info to complete it. Thank you.

I am truly saddened by the loss of Rick. I am so sorry! He brought so much joy to those around him, and we know he will continue to do so as he reunites with Randy, Van and many others.

Jo and Family, I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend Rick. It has been a while since we spent time together but I will always cherish the joy and memories he brought into my life and my mother's life while staying with us in California. I know he has two wonderful friends (Ruthie and Van) rejoicing in their reunion. I will never forget Rick and am thankful that I and so many others were blessed to have him in our life along with so many wonderful and crazy memories.

Love, Nancy

My Dear Friend Ricky, such a big part of my life, the memories will be cherished forever. I can only imagine what it is like to be in the presence of our saviour, wish you could tell us, are you dancing? Have you made it to the poker table with Randy yet? I will never forget you. So glad you got to see my first house. Don't forget to send us your vibe while in cripple creek..You are so loved and so missed, see you again my friend...Love You, Kathryn (Scooby, Kat)

Dear Jo and Vicki, Jim and I were so saddened when we read the paper this morning! We are so sorry! Jo, I remember our fun days at the driver's license office and have many memories of Rick and all of his buddies. You were always like a second mom to them. You guys are in our thoughts and prayers. Jo, I am leaving my email address for you. Please email or call me!! Love! Jim and Cathy

It would take more time and pages that one could read to cover my memories of Rick. From the first sleepover in gradeschool to the band days and on from there. I hadn't seen alot of Rick in recent years but I did get to visit with him in the hospital while I was back in Co. One of the blessings that our circle of friends enjoys is the fact that whether you connect once a week or once a year the feelings that we share never change or fade. Rick will live on in my mind for all of my days. Jo should know that all of these thoughts include her. Jo, you are an incredible person. I can't think of enough superlatives for you. Please know that during this time(and all times)you are in my thoughts! Our love always Sam & Dawn Rowley
