Richard Emerson “Rick,” “Rabbit” Garner, 71, of Brookville, PA, passed away on January 9, 2021.
Rick was born on September 2, 1949, in Brookville, PA, to the late John Robert Garner and Miriam Elaine (Conrad) Garner.
He graduated from Brookville High School in 1967. Rick worked at Mike’s Comet Super Market, Owens-Illinois, which became Rexam. He was a lifetime member of the Pinecreek Township Volunteer Fire Department, the Sigel Sportsmen’s Club, the NRA and the Fireman’s Club. He was also a member of the Brookville Presbyterian Church. He loved hunting and fishing with his son and grandkids.
His family was his world. He was a “one-of- a-kind guy.” You would never meet a more kind and giving man. He would give anything he had to anyone who needed it. He loved working and seeing all the customers at the grocery store. It was that and his family that kept him going for as long as he has. We are so thankful to everyone that was a part of his life. You all made it his reason for living. He will truly be missed.
Rick is survived by one daughter, Katie (Rob) Fitzgerald; two siblings, Vickie (Don) Storey, and Sue (Mike) Bish; five grandchildren, Laken McAlexander, Brooke Fitzgerald, Mathew, Alisha, and Erin Garner; and ten great-grandchildren.
In addition to his parents, Rick was preceded in death by a son, Richard Adam Garner. Friends and family will be received on Wednesday, January 13, 2021, from 3pm-7pm at the McKinney – d’Argy Funeral Home, 345 Main Street, Brookville, PA 15825.
