Rick Hatfield Obituary

Very sorry to hear of Rick's passing, I remember him as a great athlete but also as a great person. Had fun as a kid playing basketball at his mom and dad's house on Burger Street. Prayers to his family.

Jill, my sister passed this on to me. I´m so sorry to hear of Rick´s passing. May he rest peacefully in Heaven.

We are all saddened to hear of Rick's passing. Rick was a great athlete, coach and mentor. He was a very proud father. His greatest legacy is the two amazing children he has in Chaz and Lindy. We love you all.

My condolences to the entire Hatfield family. Rick and I went to Grade School and High School together. Lots of memories. Sad to hear of his passing. Wish I had known he was in Ft. Myers as I am living in Sanibel. Would´ve loved to talk about the good old days.
Rest in Peace.

Deepest sympathies to Jill, Kelly and all of Ricks family and friends! He was funny and cool and it was so much fun watching how much he enjoyed playing athletics. My thoughts and prayers are with all who loved him.

I was saddened to read of Rick's death, and his family has my condolences. We spent a lot of time together when in grade school from fishing, delivering Sunday morning newspapers in the middle of the night, playing sports of all kinds, usually on the same team, but not always. I spent one year as his batterymate when he pitched for the 49ers. We may have been the poorest team in the league with only shirts and hats as uniforms, but we had the best pitcher. Rick had amazing control and one heck of a fast ball. He typically threw a no hitter or something darn close. He was a tremendous hitter and shortstop too.

May he rest in peace,

David Brenskelle

To Deb and Family
Very sad to lose a good friend and teammate. Rick you now are at peace and will be missed by everyone who knew you. You were and will continue to be an All American. One of the best to have ever played at Findlay College.

WOW! Jill and Kelly, I am just stunned by Rick's death. I think of him often and never knew he became a teacher. It sounds like that good heart of his made a difference in the world and that is so nice to hear. Know that all of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope some nice memories are flashing before your eyes to put a little smile on your heart and to help ease your pain. love, Dave

Prayers are sent your way. But Rick in heaven now and his life is amazing, now being able to play all sports for Our Lord and Savior.
