After a brief struggle with cancer, Rick passed away peacefully with his family at his side. Cherished son of Hudson and Lorna Milburn. Beloved brother to Alan Milburn, Cathy (Scott) Ryan, Kent Milburn and Brad (Val) Milburn, he will be deeply missed. Rick also leaves to mourn his nieces Danielle, Dominique, Jessica and nephews Drew and Benjamin. At Rick’s request, cremation has taken place and a private family celebration is planned.

I am heart broken to read the passing of my long time friend and music partner. My Condolences to all the family as this is quite a shock. Rick was a amazing person that would light up the room with his big infectious smile and his laugh that would fill and over power a crowd room. Rick was an artist extraordinary and could capture facial images in seconds or any thing he put his hand to. Rick as a musician was on top of his game and was the back bone to our little bluegrass band as a singer and a player of the stand up Bass. I will and am missing him terribly.

I’m shocked to here of Rick’s passing. I’ve known Rick since high school.
He was the smartest guy I knew and an amazing standup bass fiddle player. I was honoured that he and some great friends played bluegrass at our wedding in 1990.
I will miss him so
