In 1975, he married his high school sweetheart and life-long love, Sue Reynoldson. In 1976, Rick and Sue moved to Fort Rock, OR where they began their family farm. Rick’s funny, passionate and spit-fire personality helped him quickly become part of the community and a friend to everyone. With the same spirit, he built his family of one son, Danny, and two daughters, Anna and Grace. Later in life, he welcomed six wonderful grandkids. Rick and his grandkids shared an inherited love for life, and in that way, a piece of him will live on. Rick truly carried the heart of a farmer throughout his life and is remembered for his beautiful alfalfa farm, creative mechanical solutions, and love for off-season vacations with his loving wife. It is difficult to forget a man like Rick Warmington, and those who were lucky enough to know him, never will.
