Information for the Bio for Karl Rickabaugh:
From the Medford Mail Tribune, 06/12/2014:
Karl Robert Rickabaugh, of Medford, Oregon passed away peacefully Tuesday, June
10, 2014 and is now eternally home and present with the Lord. Karl was 75 years
old and is survived by his wife, Devon Rickabaugh; son, Keegan Rickabaugh; and
sister, Barbara McCormack (Rickabaugh). His family and friends rejoice with him
even as they miss his daily insight, helping hand and joy in the Lord. As a
husband, father, brother, and friend, Karl will be remembered as being caring
and dedicated to his family, his work, his friends, and his life pursuits while
wholeheartedly serving his Savior, Jesus Christ.
He was born in Eugene, Oregon, August 15, 1938 to Robert and Alfreda Rickabaugh.
He was one of two children. Karl pursued a road of academia and excelled
greatly. He taught in Klamath Falls, OR; Salt Lake City, UT; Ellensburg, WA; and
Tacoma, WA, eventually retiring as a full professor in psychology from Pacific
Lutheran University. While teaching at Central Washington University, in the
mid-seventies, he met his loving bride, Devon Fleming. They married on September
14, 1974 and spent almost forty amazing years loving and caring for one another.
During Karl's lifetime he was an avid mountain climber, hunter, fisherman,
horticulturist, beekeeper, runner, educator, and a student of the Bible. As he
once said, There is no limit to what I can learn or teach, and as long as there
is something beyond my grasp that I am striving for, this means that I am at my
best. Throughout his life, he always sought to do his best. I believe in a God
who is really there; it was this personal faith in Jesus Christ that allowed
Karl to find his satisfaction in Him whatever life held.
There will be a private family memorial service followed by an open house to
celebrate God's goodness through Karl's life at the Rickabaugh home on Saturday,
June 14, 2014 from 1:00 to 5:00 PM. A graveside service will be held at
Deschutes Memorial, Bend, OR, on Monday July 7, 2014 at 11:00 AM.
In honor of Karl, donations may be made to Grace Christian Schools with a
designation for student scholarships or to the Nicaragua mission fund.
