In Loving Memory of  Richard “Rick” Lee Herbert, age 70, of Thompson Twp., passed away on January 14, 2024, at UH Geauga Medical Center. Born on September 4, 1953, to Patrick and Jean (nee: Hoyt) Herbert in Altoona, PA.

Rick’s life was forever changed when he met and married the love of his life, Terri Jean Gibbons, in June of 1978. Their union of 43 years was a testament to love, commitment, and shared adventures. Rick and Terri shared a love for their furry and feathered companions and took the opportunity to take amazing trips together. Terri’s passing on March 19, 2022, left a void in Rick’s heart.

Rick was a specialist in high voltage electrical systems and proud owner of Herbert Electrical Resources.  Rick’s knowledge and hard work were evident in every aspect of his life.

He is survived by his siblings, Lynne (Mike) Swerbinsky of Willowick, OH, Jeffrey (Debbie) Herbert of Mentor, OH, Patrick (Arlene) Herbert of Willoughby Hills, OH, Michael Herbert of Timberlake, OH, and Teri (Rick Kuntz) Herbert of Ravenna, OH. Also left to cherish his memory are sister-in-laws Linda (Joe) Valencic and Mary Jane (Frank) Robers, stepmother, Margaret Herbert, and numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces/nephew, and friends who will dearly miss him.

Preceded in death by his father, Patrick Herbert, mother, Jean (nee: Hoyt) Gould, and sister-in-law, Dr. Patricia Gibbons, Rick’s legacy lives on in the hearts of those he touched.
