Rick loved God and his church family. He was a member of The Grove Church in Chandler, Arizona, and The Iron Man men's group. He was an Army Veteran, a jack-of-all-trades, and certainly an adrenaline junkie. He loved anything that would go fast. The last thing he asked his oncologist was if he could be cleared to skydive! One thing we all will miss is definitely his sense of humor and ability to make anyone laugh. He was deeply loved and will be greatly missed. Rick did not want a traditional funeral. In true Rick Tilley fashion, he requested a big party in his honor. The party details will be shared at a later date.
