John Emile “Rick” Otero Jr. passed away on Wednesday, August 1, 2018 at the age of 64. He was the father of Kristen Otero Francois (Steven) and Brooke Otero Campagne, as well as the late Ricky Otero Couevas; grandfather of Gabrielle, Karlie, and Shyanne; son of Gloria Adam Otero and the late John Otero Sr.; brother of Arleen Otero Pizani (Myron “Goo”) and the late Glen “Chinaman” Otero. He was the former husband of Sarah Ruttley. He is also survived by a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends, as well as his canine companion, Sofie.
He was a long time oil field worker, working in several different rolls and places. He loved music, particularly singing and dancing, and even played in a band when he was younger. However, he will be best remembered for his sense of humor, as he loved to laugh. That is how he rolled.
