Obituary
Rick (Richard) Anthony Power, 58, of York, England, passed away on the 4th of August 2023 following a battle with liver disease.
Rick was born on the 12th of November 1964 to Eileen Teresa Power and Thomas Richard Power in Enfield, London. Following the family's move to York in December 1967, he attended St. Wilfrid's RC primary school, which was attached to the church he attended with his family regularly, and where he was captain of the football team in his final year. Following that he attended Nunthorpe Grammar School, and he earned his A-levels at Harrogate Sixth Form College, North Yorkshire.
After a move to London where he first worked at the DHSS in Barnet and then at M&S Head Office, he secured a post at the City of Enfield Council as a Housing Benefits Advisor. Before moving back to York permanently in 2001, Rick took up agency work as a freelance Benefits Advisor, work that took him all over the UK until his later years when he worked from home.
In 1989 Rick met Liesl King in Ladbroke Grove, London, and they had a Civil Ceremony in Wood Green, London in 1991 followed by a Christian wedding in Sacramento, California in 1992. Some years later Liesl and Rick had two children, Kiera Heather Power in Hemel Hempstead in 1998, and Ryan Thomas Power in Croydon in 2000.
Rick was an avid football fan who attended many matches with his son Ryan, and who played weekly for most of his adult life including for many years with Snowhome in York. He was a passionate fan of music, and he played the electric guitar regularly from young, both with friends and as a hobby on his own. Rick had close friends in York, London and Colchester who meant a great deal to him.
Rick was predeceased by his father Thomas Richard Power in 1991 and his mother Eileen Teresa Power in 2015. He is survived and forever remembered by Liesl Eleyn King, Kiera Heather Power, Ryan Thomas Power, and his brother, David Joseph Power.
