Richard “Rick” Eric Hamrick, age 58, of Brunswick, was called home to God’s house on Friday, June 22, 2018, after a more than decade-long battle with cancer. He was born May 2, 1960, in Cleveland, to the late Elwood Herbert and Veda Mary (nee Fertig) Hamrick.
Rick was a Mt. Pleasant Church member and the Church historian, and a member of the Brunswick Eagles #3505. He enjoyed cooking for others with fatherly conversation. He was a terrific Indians, Browns and Packers fan. Rick had many gardening talents and enjoyed fixing anything into its second life. Our Jack-of-all-trades, go-to-guy was a loved man who loved back, and his absence will be felt by many.
He will be dearly missed by his loving wife of 20 years, Carleen (nee Carlson); children, Allison, Kayla, Emily and Vaughn Hamrick; sisters, Sandra (Cliff) Taylor and Virginia Stevenson; brother-in-law, Casey Schoessow; grandchildren, Kindle and Alex; and loving Uncle of many.
He was preceded in death by his sister, Doris Schoessow.
