Rick Catlin passed away on Aug. 7, 2024, in St. George, Utah, at the age of 65. Rick was a beloved figure known for his kind-hearted and adventurous spirit. He spent his life embracing the outdoors, whether he was riding his motorcycle, exploring terrains on his RZR or engaging in any activity that allowed him to feel the freedom of the open road.
Rick graduated from Granger High School and the University of Phoenix, which paved the way for his successful career in the pipe and tube industry. Throughout his career, Rick made significant contributions to several companies and worked his final days with Texas Pipe and Supply, where his hardworking and dedicated nature was greatly valued.
Rick is survived by his partner Tami Naftzger; Tami’s daughter Brook (Logan) Clark; grandchildren Mason and Aspen; siblings Sheri McKendrick, Wendy (Greg) Lister and Bruce Catlin; and several nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents Jolene and Wendell Catlin, his sisters Brenda and Barb and brother-in-law Steve.
Rick’s life was a testament to living authentically and passionately, and his legacy will be cherished by all who knew him. This is not a farewell, but a “see you down the road” for a man who never really stopped living on the edge.
There will be two celebrations for family and friends to gather and share our favorite memories of Rick. One will be held in St. George, Utah, in October. The other will be in West Valley City, Utah. Dates will be finalized soon.
