Today we gather not to say goodbye, but to honor the life of a man who shaped us, inspired us, and loved us deeply. Rick was many things: a source of wisdom, a steady hand in uncertain times, and a quiet hero in the everyday moments. He taught us that strength is not loud, but steadfast… that kindness is not a weakness, but a power… and that the most important measure of a life is not what you take, but what you give. He gave endlessly—of his time, his patience, his humor, and his heart.
He built a life defined not by material things, but by the relationships he nurtured and the values he passed on. Though we will miss his voice, his laugh, and the way he could make everything feel safe, we carry him with us. Every story we tell, every lesson we remember, every act of kindness we offer in his honor keeps his light burning. Rick, you were our compass and our anchor. Your love will forever guide us, even when we cannot see the shore.
This is not the end of your story—because you live on in each of us.
We invite you to join us as we gather to honor and remember the life of our beloved father, Richard Waldon Hezlitt. To help us prepare and ensure there is space for everyone, please let us know if you will be attending by marking as going on this event. Your presence, stories, and love will mean so much to our family during this time of remembrance.
