UPDATE: Memorial Service for Rick at Parkway United Methodist Church (site of the garden as well) on Tuesday, April 13th at 7PM
Rick Don Coffey was killed in an accident on Friday April 2, 2010 while riding his bike at Sample and Military Trail.
Rick has been a part of our garden project from the beginning. He dug, planted, cleared, watered and found some sense of belonging and purpose.
Rick also attended church at Parkway, including Bible study and other gatherings.
He will be missed by all of us. We will post relevant information on arrangements as it becomes available.
Leave comments here remembering the things you appreciated about Rick.
Thank you all for takeing him in and see what he really is about. I know that he has his bad days just like all of us do and once again thank you for the service it was really good. But now he is in a better place planting a garden for all of you to see later on and probaly playing pool like he always did when me and him hungout or fishing. You will never be missed dad i love you and i will see you again.

I met Rick a handful of times..I saw him as a symbol of hope..and of how the garden can help people.
I absolutely loved that he maintained a plot at the garden..
I was shocked when I heard about his passing.
We are trying to plan something for the 1 year if anyone has anything that they can think of please send me something
