Journal entry by Dolly Belde

Yesterday, the most amazing, loving, special man in the entire world fought his final cancer battle and won, gaining his heavenly wings. 

Rick left this earth at home, surrounded by the ones that loved him the most. 

Our hearts shatter as we try to comprehend the incredibly great loss of our husband, dad, grandpa, and friend, the rock and leader of our family. Rick was the most kind, tender-hearted soul. Our family was so blessed to be loved by him. Rick was taken too soon, and we miss him so dearly. We look forward to the day we see him again. We love you forever and ever. 

Rick's celebration of life will be held at Westbridge Community Church in St. Michael, MN on Saturday, February 25th, 2023. There will be a visitation from 9am-10am. The service will be from 10am-11am, with a light luncheon reception to follow from 11am-1pm. 

Thank you all for the support over these grueling three years. We ask that you continue to keep our family in your thoughts and prayers during this devastating time.
