In 1981, he married his sweetheart, Sharon Nodurft, and in 1984 they had their first child, Cody James. Soon to follow in 1991, their second child was born, Shayn Anthony. Rick was always proud to show his sons the wholesome way of life as a farmer, rancher, hunter and fisherman. He enjoyed the time that was spent with close friends.
