Richard James “Rick” Farley of Mayfield Heights and Chesterland, passed away March 23, 2026 from pancreatic cancer. Rick is survived by his loving wife Stephanie (nee Katz), adult children Rebecca (Tommy Lee) and Kevin (Ulyssa Spring), his brother Don (Mary), and his granddaughters Jaisa (Steven Frazier) and Hayden, his grandson Calvin, and far more granddogs than he likely ever anticipated. Rick was a graduate of Mayfield Heights High School and attended Kent State University. He looked forward to every class reunion. He was a dedicated Allstate agent for thousands of clients over many decades and a proud U.S. Marine. Rick was the ultimate people person and connected with everyone he ever met. He was a storyteller, sought to connect with people from all walks of life and volunteered at the City Mission. He was a dedicated fan of the Cleveland Browns despite their record as well as the Cleveland Indians/Guardians. The family would like to thank the Hillcrest 3W medical professionals, the staff at Advanced Health Care of Landerhaven, Cleveland Clinic Hospice and the amazing people at Home Instead. A memorial service is being scheduled and details will be updated on www.diciccoandsonsfh.com. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the American Cancer Society or the City Mission of Cleveland.
