He is preceded in death by his father, Richard Wayne Paulson.
Rick is survived by his loving mother, Sandra (Dale) Anderson; siblings, Scott Allen Paulson and Tina Marie (Anderson) Young; niece, Miranda Marie Sangrene; and nephew, Kaleb Dale Sangrene.
Rick was a veteran and proudly served his country in the Air Force for four years. He loved to hunt birds and deer, and practice target shooting with friends. Rick enjoyed riding motorcycles, hiking and camping; anything in nature brought him joy.
