On Wednesday, October 7th, 2020, Rick Davis, loving husband, father and friend passed away at home with his wife, Vickie, by his side at the age of 56.

Rick was born in Lincoln, Nebraska on July 2nd, 1964. He spent the majority of his life residing in different bay area cities before landing in Tracy, CA where he, along with his wife, fulfilled their shared dream of becoming homeowners.

Rick enjoyed operating and customizing vehicles of all types. You could always tell when something was his just by how clean and unique it was. He took pride in owning and maintaining his vehicles as he worked very hard to earn each and every one of them. It could be a dirt bike, motorcycle, powerboat, jet ski, heavy construction equipment or semi-truck, there wasn’t a vehicle on the roads or in the water that he couldn’t operate. He shared this passion with all of his loved ones and could often be found in the summer months out on New Melones Lake with his wife ripping away on their jet skis.

His passion was also his career as he held a Class A commercial drivers license that enabled him to drive anything that came his way. He willingly embraced learning new skills and never shied away from a challenge. While in Tracy, he took his career into a new direction and became an Electronic Maintenance Technician III for the Defense Depot. While at the Defense Depot he still maintained a second job where he was able to leverage his Class A license from time to time and get behind the wheel, a place he always felt comfortable. Rick worked hard, always making the impossible, possible, but never for himself. He was selfless beyond measure and always wanted his children and family to have more than he was allotted growing up. He achieved this in many ways and rightfully considered it to be one of his greatest successes.

Rick made friends everywhere he went; he always had a guy or someone for any and everything. His charismatic and generous personality was infectious and hard to resist. He loved to love and bravely bared his heart to the world around him. He was authentic, one of one and will be sorely missed.

Rick is survived by his greatest love, his wife, Vickie and children Christopher, Antoinette and Ricky; their spouses Angela and Ann; grandchildren Aiden, Colton, Julius and Marlowe; his four legged pals Cuddles and Chloe, mother in law and father in law, the Gordon’s, his brother and sister-in-laws the Angeles’s, San Pedro’s and Bombon’s as well as his many nieces, nephews and his closest friends that he was a father or brother to.
