He went on to work for the Columbia County Road Department where he ended his career in 2010.
Rick enjoyed all things outdoors. He loved hunting, fishing, working on cars and splitting wood, but his most favorite thing of all was spending time with his children, grandchildren and his dog, Zander.

He is survived by his mother, Rachel (Bud) Runyan; children, Alicea Baer (Mike Duddington) and Matthew (Brianne) Baer; and three beautiful granddaughters, Lydeah Alayne and Lileigh Ana Baer and Willa Ray Duddington.
Rick will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.
