In Loving Memory of Richard Anthony Bianca
Devoted Husband, Loving Father, Proud Grandfather, and Cherished Friend
1966– 2025
With heavy hearts and deep love, we share the passing of “Rick” Bianca, age 59- a man whose world revolved entirely around the people he loved. Rick was the devoted husband to his high school sweetheart Denise, the proud and deeply loving father of Derek, Cody, Brooke and Cassidy, and the happiest new grandfather to Adeline anyone had ever seen.
Rick passed away on 07/20/25, surrounded by the very family he lived his life for. Though his time with us feels far too short, his legacy of unconditional love, strength, and joy will live on through every life he touched—especially the lives of his children and grandchild, who were his greatest treasures.
For Rick, family wasn’t just important—it was everything. He poured his heart and energy into being a father and husband. He never missed a moment, never hesitated to show up, and always gave more than he took. Whether it was coaching from the sidelines, helping with a school project, offering quiet support, or giving the world’s best hugs—Rick was there. Always.
His marriage to Denise was one built on deep love, laughter, loyalty, and true partnership. Together, they created a home full of warmth, compassion, and a sense of belonging that extended to everyone who stepped through their door.
Recently, Rick became a grandfather—an experience he welcomed with wide arms and a full heart. He lit up around his grandchild, embracing this new chapter of life with the same love, care, and joy he gave to everything else.
Rick will be remembered for his steady presence, his kind eyes, his quick wit, and his generous heart. He had a way of making everyone feel loved and like they had a place here—and with Rick, they did. He lived life with purpose, grace, and a quiet strength that lifted others. He had strong faith that guided him through his life.
He is preceded in death by his father Robert, mother Janet, and siblings Laura, Tom, Rob and Dawn.
He is survived by his beloved wife Denise, his children Derek (Crystal), Cody (Alexa), Brooke (Abram) and Cassidy, his grandchild Adeline (also known as Junior), his brother Chuck (Petie) and countless family and friends who were lucky enough to know and love him.
A memorial of Rick’s life will be held on 8/2/25. Family and friends are invited to come together to honor his memory, share stories, and surround one another with the love that Rick gave so freely.
Rick Bianca was the heart of his family. And through them, his heart will keep beating, forever.
Memorial talk will be given at 2:00 pm 8/2/25 at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovahs Witnesses: 24000 Royalton Road, Columbia Station, Oh 44028
