Frank Rick

Frank J Rick, age 49, made the journey to Heaven on November 1. 2023 on All Saints Day. Before Frank’s passing, he was surrounded by his large family and visited by his many friends. Frank’s last breath was taken with the comfort of his mother, Janet Rick, at his side.

Frank was born in Milwaukee on July 11, 1974 to Nicholas and Janet (Eisele) Rick. Frank is one of six brothers. He grew up on the East side of Madison and was known as being a free spirited, larger than life figure with an extraordinary imagination and endless amount of creativity. Frank was known for his humor and inventive jokes, musical and artistic talents, love of fishing and boxing. Frank was a protector for the underdog, leader in any adventure, and touched many lives in the same fashion of Saint Frances of Assisi, his namesake. Frank was a fearless entrepreneur with no shortage of business ideas. He owned and operated a successful business, Service First Fitness, before suffering a debilitating stroke in 2012, he was 38.

The most important joy in Frank’s life was his two children, Aidan 19, and Ashlyn 16. He loved and adored both of them with his whole heart and was proud of each of their accomplishments. His adventures and fun times he shared with his children will be remembered fondly. He was a great Dad.

Left to treasure Franks memories are his parents Nicholas and Janet (Eisele) Rick; Son, Aidan Rick, daughter, Ashlyn Rick, Brothers, Jason Van Dinter, Nicholas (Jenifer) Rick, Michael (Angie) Rick, Joseph (Danielle) Rick, Anthony (NaJin) Rick, ex-spouse Erin Rick, also many nieces and nephews, extended family and friends and Bigfoot
