Ricky Anthony Dilger Obituary (2023)

Rick "Ricky" Anthony Dilger went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus, on December 8, 2023. Rick was born July 19, 1965, to his wonderful parents, Anthony and Rosemary Dilger, in Yakima, Washington. As the oldest of three children, Rick quit school and went to work at his dads lawn service. He later returned to school and got his GED. Rick worked at various jobs to support his family. Rick met the love of his life, Brenda, and they were married on March 21, 1987. The following year, in July, they had their first and only child, daughter, Bethany. There is so much to say about who Rick was. He was a husband, father, papa, brother, uncle, and more. He was a faithful member and deacon of The Church of God. He loved God, loved working for God, and was honored to hold the License of a Deacon. His church family was so very important to him. There was never a time when Rick did not make people laugh. He was a character that so many people loved. He had a bold personality and a compassion for people that just showed up every day. Rick was so proud of the day he became a Papa. He loved and spoiled all of his grandkids. He loved his family, including his baby dog, Daisy. He is already greatly missed by all who love him. Rick is survived by his wife of 36 years, Brenda Dilger, his daughter and son-in-law, Bethany and Jeremy Bertram, his precious grandchildren, Riley, Zachary, and Mackenzey, his dog, Daisy, his brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Karen Dilger, his nephews, Anthony and Brandon Dilger, lots of cousins, and aunts and uncles.
