Rick Hayes Obituary, Death – It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Rick Hayes on the night of January 31st, at his home in Decatur, Illinois. Rick, 63, was surrounded by his partner, Judy Perkins, when he tragically went into major cardiac arrest and, despite valiant efforts including CPR, he left us all too soon. Rick was a beloved father, partner, and friend, whose warmth and generosity touched the lives of those fortunate enough to know him. His unexpected departure has left a void in the hearts of family and friends, and the grief is immeasurable.
Born on June 15, 1960, in Decatur, Rick lived a life filled with love, laughter, and a passion for connecting with others. A devoted partner to Judy, a loving father, and a cherished friend, Rick was known for his kind spirit and willingness to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. In addition to his partner, Judy Perkins, Rick is survived by his children and extended family, all of whom mourn the loss of a remarkable man.
