Richard Pasley Obituary

Richard William Pasley

Services for Richard William Pasley, 54, Lawrence, will be at a later date. Mr. Pasley died October 22, 2014 in Lawrence.

He was born October 31, 1959 in Smyrna, Tennessee.

Rick was a gentle soul, who loved to work with his hands. He built many a bicycle from salvaged parts, and would gladly give one to anybody who needed some wheels. He was also a very good craftsman, and gardener. I don't think there was a plant, tree, or shrub that he couldn't identify. He loved spending time with his son, and riding many a mile on his bike. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

He is survived by a son, Grady Underwood and fiancée Kelsey Richardson, of Lawrence; sister, Ramona Kemberling and husband Dennis, of Eudora; and a niece, Sarah Swan, of Lawrence.

Condolences may be sent at www.rumsey-yost.com.
