At age 65, Rick passed away in a care facility in San Antonio, Texas on September
7, 2023. He was born in Tomball, Texas on June 9, 1958, to Ventis Clepper and
Helene Maxine Clepper.
Rick was always generous with his time and abilities. He was knowledgeable in
numerous trades and never shied away from hard work. On many occasions he
would work to near exhaustion to finish a job, task, or favor for family or friend.
After the job was done, he would only accept a thank you.
Beyond the tremendous love for his family and friends, Rick adored Tex-Mex Food
with a nice spicy salsa. He would advise any Tex-Mex restaurant waiter to bring a
spoon and salsa in the largest bowl they have in the kitchen. By the end of the
meal, his face would be beaded with sweat to reveal the pains of bliss and
contentment.
Rick is survived by his son Joseph Clepper and wife Desirée; daughter Jennifer Clepper and husband Scott Richardson; granddaughter Mackenzie Clepper; grandson Malakye Clepper; grandson Cormac Clepper; brother Jerry Clepper, sister Brenda Clepper, half-brother Jason Clepper; and half-sister Shawna Clepper Long.
He was preceded in death by his father Ventis Clepper and his mother Helene Maxine Clepper.
The Addison family and staff of Magnolia Funeral Home extend condolences to the
Clepper family during this difficult time
