It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our beloved Rick Paskay of Tampa Florida. Rick lost a four year battle with cancer on November 6th, 2019 at the age of 67. Rick was the most honest, ethical, kindest, most empathetic man we ever met. Rick was a loving son, loving brother and loyal friend. Rick was a voracious reader and lover of all animals, especially cats and horses. Although Rick was a very private man he was always there for anyone with a kind word or deed, or book he thought you’d like to have. Rick was a professional singer in the 70’s with his band, Ricky Rocket and the Cast of Easy Tricks. He earned his living in NY and LA as a casting director, publicist, writer, filmmaker, and owner of the skateboard shop Shut Up and Skate, in Hollywood. Rick leaves behind his mother, Rose Paskay, brother Steve, sister-in-law Licia and hundreds of friends, and animals, whose lives he touched.
