Rick was the ninth child of Al and Caroline (Wemhoff) Frei.
He graduated from Grangeville High School in 1973.
Rick loved being outdoors and helped on the family farm and also worked with his brothers on their farms. Rick, like many in his family, loved flying and had his pilot's license at an early age.
He drove logging trucks until 1999, when he and his wife Deb bought the Short Branch Bar in Riggins, which they remodeled and renamed the Rodeo Club. Rick used to say he was the public relations guy and Deb was the worker bee. After selling the Rodeo Club in 2008, Rick and Deb moved to Grangeville, built a house and continued farming.
Rick and Deb lived their lives together to the fullest and took risks. Rick was very creative and could build or repair anything. He liked to hunt and fish and spend time with family. He was always a very caring person and demonstrated this in a profound way by donating a kidney to his brother, Leroy.
Rick was married to Cheryl Vrieling, and they had a daughter, Nicole, in 1980.
In 1996, Rick married Deborah Bell, gaining a stepson, Rob, and stepdaughter Julie.
Rick was preceded in death by his parents, Al and Caroline Frei; and brothers Leroy and Jim.
