Rick was a true friend! He was one of the the best carpenters I ever worked with!! I’ll miss you brother!
Ricky was a true blessing to the Marlowe family. He was always there to help out in anyway he could, he loved his immediate family very much and showed the same kind of love for the extended Marlowe Clan. I always enjoyed seeing him, Shelia and the family when i was able to travel to Fairview to visit. I am one of the Marlowe’s from Virginia. Ricky will be sadly missed by all. I will miss being able to hang out with him and visit now that he is gone. May he rest in peace, his pain no longer. He impacted so many lives in his somewhat short life. He is gone too soon. I am praying for Shelia, Chris, and Ashley and the grandchildren. May they all find Peace,Comfort,Love, and Hope. Sincerely, Cousin Don

I’m so very sad to hear of Rick‘s passing. He and I spent quite a bit of time together over a good many years on different projects. We always had a good time whether we were working or playing golf. Rick loved to laugh big and he always made our time together fun. My deepest condolences to Sheila and all the family. Rick will be greatly missed!
