Burial will follow at Mt. Zion Cemetery in Collinsville, TX. Rick was born March 29,1956, in Landstuhl, West Germany to the late F.L. Williams and Maria Monica Altenburger.
Rick worked in the HVAC/refrigeration business for over 40 years. During this time, he owned his own successful residential and commercial HVAC and refrigeration company, drove a gasoline tanker, and began an 18-year career as the HVAC Supervisor at the Buster Cole State Jail in Bonham, Texas. As much as Rick loved his chosen profession, he loved the people brought into his life even more.
Never one to meet a stranger, Rick made a difference in the lives of countless people. His love for his LORD and Savior Jesus Christ was evident in every aspect of his life, and he was quick to share the knowledge of his Savior with those around him. His sincerity, wisdom, and sense of humor have guided many through hardships and pointed them straight to Jesus Christ.
After his LORD, his greatest love was his family. He married the love of his life, Sherry Ann Johnson, on December 16,1977. Through the 41 years of love and laughter they shared–in both blessings and trials–they remained true to each other and to the One who brought them together.
The legacy Rick leaves for his family is full of faith, love and joyful devotion to his LORD. He wishes us all to remember the Scripture God gave him during his final mission on this earth. “Rejoice evermore.
Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks. For this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you”.
