It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Rick Schaefer, 67, of Tampa, Florida, on November 22, 2024.
A devoted father, Rick was best known for the love he had for his son, Ricky. His pride in his son was immeasurable, and the bond they shared was his greatest joy.
An avid sports fan, Rick was especially passionate about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and could often be found cheering on his team. He also enjoyed spending time at Busch Gardens, where he took daily walks through the park, appreciating the beauty of nature and the peace it brought him.
Rick is survived by his son, Ricky (Lynsi), sisters Lynne (Paul) and Gayle (Tim), niece Erin, and close friends RB, Paul and the Boda family. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him for his kind heart, enthusiasm, and unwavering love for his family.
Rest in peace, Rick. You will always be cherished, and your memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved you.
