Richard E. Privara, age 72, of North Royalton, entered eternal peace on April 17th, 2026. He leaves behind a loving family who adored him: his siblings Charles (Laura), Nancie (Richard) Stephenson, and Linda Utley; his nieces and nephews Leanne (Donn) Suesse, Charles Privara, Michael Stephenson, Mitchell Utley, and Sarah (Luke) Anderson; and his great‑nephew Ivan Suesse. He was the cherished son of the late Emil and Virginia (née Liscynski) Privara. Ricky was one of those rare people who turned everyday moments into memories. A wildly talented cake decorator, he once had the brag worthy honor of decorating a birthday cake for Lou Ferrigno, the original Incredible Hulk. Fun loving to his core, Ricky had an unmistakable zest for life and a heart as big as his smile. Whether he was pulling pranks, sharing a laugh, or chasing his next adventure, he lived fully and fearlessly. His passions knew no bounds: skydiving, golfing, bowling, racquetball, tennis, bike riding, speed ice skating, roller blading, and, of course, hitting the open road on his motorcycle. He was always the first to help out, show up, or bring joy and he will be deeply missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. ...Read More
