The late Rick McMinn was from Austin, Texas. The community and his family are deeply saddened by his sudden passing on June 15th at the age of 44. Rick’s girlfriend of four years, Melanie Strong, is organizing a fundraiser to support his two children, Rylee and Mason, and their mother, Randee. The goal is to raise $100,000 to cover final expenses, funeral arrangements, and the children’s future needs, including education and healthcare.
Rick leaves behind a loving family, including his stepchildren, Parker and Charli, his mother Pam, his brother Joey, and his sisters Amanda and Katherine. Melanie shared her heartfelt plea on the GoFundMe page, emphasizing the importance of fulfilling Rick’s last wish: ensuring his children are taken care of.
"We are devastated to have lost our incredible Rick McMinn," Melanie wrote. "This is our time to support his children and make this transition into a new world without him as easy as possible."
Many friends and loved ones have expressed their condolences and shared memories on Rick McMinn’s Memorial Page. Melanie also announced that the details for the memorial service and celebration of Rick’s life will be shared soon, inviting everyone to continue sharing their stories and support on the page.
The community’s response has been overwhelmingly supportive, highlighting the collective effort to provide for Rick’s children during this challenging time. As Melanie poignantly noted, "Ensuring his children are taken care of is the last thing he asked of me." This GoFundMe campaign not only honors Rick’s memory but also reflects the profound impact he had on those around him.
