| PHELAN, Richard "Rick" Dean | Apr. 29, 1938 Brazil, Clay Co., IN |
Dec. 5, 2017 Springfield, MO |
Research Note: His birth certificate says he was born in 1932 and a twin. Son of Matthew Joseph Phelan and Pearl Frances Hunt. - Richard (Rick) Phelan, formerly of (ready?) Brazil Indiana, Chicago Illinois, Ft. Lauderdale Florida, Los Angeles California, Portland Oregon, San Diego California, Miami Florida, Nashville Tennessee, and Branson Missouri passed away Tuesday December 5, 2017 in Springfield Missouri. Rick was 85 years old. For those fortunate enough to have known Rick, they will surely have countless memories that will bring smiles and laughter. Rick had a way of taking any ordinary situation and somehow have those around him laughing endlessly. Whether it was one of his impromptu one-liners, a classic facial expression that was exclusive to him, or some shenanigan that he would so innocently be engaged in, there was always something to laugh about when Rick was around. Anytime Rick moved to a new area, almost immediately he started developing yet another new group of friends. He enjoyed talking to people and taking a sincere interest in them and their situation in life. If they had pets, that was a polarizing draw that he could not resist. To Rick, it did not matter if the pets were dogs, cats, fish or birds, he loved them all. In 1980, he even found a way to smuggle two "had-to-have" roosters on a flight back to Los Angeles having a ready-to-go excuse if he was caught, claiming that the roosters were "very rare birds". He simply loved animals. Rick faced more medical complications and near-death experiences here on earth than most people would face in 150 lifetimes. Even though he had multiple strokes, countless major surgeries, hit by a car and hit by a city bus, Rick would always rebound and continue with his positive outlook on life. He amazed all who knew him and his ability to bounce back. With Rick, Heaven has gained a funny, caring, compassionate, and generous soul. While we will deeply miss him here on earth, we can all take comfort in knowing that he has once again been reunited with all his friends, family, and beloved pets who have also passed. In Heaven, there is sure to have already been a few innocent shenanigans, a lot of laughs, and I would suspect a few missing things that he might have innocently slipped into his pocket or a bag. Keep them laughing, Rick, we know you will. | IN Birth Certificates Buchanan Funeral Home Phyllis Long Photo Jim Pierce |
