Frederick Howard Chamberlain II, age 65, passed away on Wednesday, December 25, 2024, in San Antonio, Texas. He was born on September 10, 1959, in Island Falls, Maine, to parents, Frederick Howard Chamberlain and Phyllis April Russell. He was known as Rick to his friends, Ricky to his sisters, and “the man with treats” to dogs despite his allergies.
Rick graduated from San Jose State University with a B.S. in Aeronautics and later from the University of Southern California with an M.S. in Systems Management. Much of his career remains a mystery, as his darling wife often said, “He brings home a paycheck and the cops aren’t after him, so why do we need to ask?” With his mysterious engineering career, he was able to take his family to England and make friends worldwide. Rick jumped at the opportunity to ride his Harley through France with friends, take his children to see Nessie, and travel with his wife around Europe.
He was preceded in death by his parents and grandparents. Rick is survived by his darling wife of 42 years, Marie; daughter, Jennifer; son, Ricky & his wife, Kirsten; grandchildren, Freddy & Henry; and sisters, Debbie and Cindy.
