Richard L. Schuman, Jr., 72 year-old Enid resident, passed away April 10, 2021 in St. Louis, Missouri. Rick was born January 24, 1949, in Montgomery, Alabama. He served in the US Air Force and was stationed in Thailand during the Vietnam War. He went on to work for City Service Gas/Williams Natural Gas/Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline and held many different titles throughout his over forty-year career. Rick was an active member of the church (Life Group) and developed true friendships within. Rick took great peace in the knowledge that he would one day be home with Jesus.
Rick was an avid Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas City Chiefs and Royals Fan. He enjoyed woodworking and tinkering in the garage. And, as everyone knows, he could fix anything. He also enjoyed the outdoors, camping, gardening, and hanging out by the pool.

He is survived by his beautiful wife, Kay; son, DJ and his wife, Dana; and daughters, Carley, Amy, and Carrie. He was proud Papa to Dexter, Kolton, Taylor, and Kinedi.
