Kaucic, 53, of Willowick, Ohio passed away on May 12, 2017. Rick fought a long battle with kidney and liver failure all the while sustaining his trademark sense of humor. He passed away peacefully, surrounded by family. Rick was a loving father of three and a dear friend to many. Born on December 26, 1963 in Cleveland, Ohio to Frank and Beulah (Durst) Kaucic, Rick was active as a soccer coach, an avid Browns fan, and would do anything for his children, family and friends. He was warm, strong-willed, and unflinchingly honest. Rick married the love of his life, Sharon Yeckley on October 31, 1987. In 2001, they were blessed with the birth of triplets who became the center of their combined universes. Rick was preceded in death by his parents and wife and is survived by his children Nicholas Kaucic, Brian Kaucic, and Danielle Kaucic; siblings Jack (Marilyn) Durst; Julie Bea (Michael) Coon, and James (Denise) Kaucic; sister-in-law Denise (Dennis) Gray; parents-in-law Mike & Joann Yeckley; aunts and uncles Charlotte and Ray Cornelius, Vic and Barb Nared; and many beloved nieces and nephews.
