Support Barbara Colberg After The Loss Of Her Husband

Remembering Rick Colberg: A Life of Nature and Love

On Thursday, July 25th, the quiet community of Beach Lake, PA, was struck by the news of the passing of Rick Colberg, a beloved husband, nature enthusiast, and friend. Rick died peacefully in his home.

He had a special way of connecting with nature, often spotted feeding the wildlife that frequented his yard. Whether it was birds, squirrels, or other small creatures, Rick took pleasure in nurturing the world around him, demonstrating a kindness that extended far beyond his immediate family and friends. His actions highlighted not only his love for nature but also a deep-rooted compassion for all living things.

Rick’s greatest joy came from his 48-year marriage to his wife, Barbara Colberg. Their journey together was marked by shared memories, love, and partnership, as they built a life filled with laughter and support. Barbara, now heartbroken and unprepared for the sudden loss of her husband, is left navigating the depths of grief. The couple shared a bond that many admired, embodying what it meant to be true companions in life's journey.

As friends, family, and the community come to terms with the loss of such a spirited soul, there is a pressing need to support Barbara during this incredibly difficult time. Funeral arrangements are now a priority, as Barbara wishes to honor Rick’s life in a manner that reflects his love for nature and the life they built together. It is a challenging moment, compounded by the emotional toll of losing a partner, and the unexpected financial burden it brings.

To help Barbara cope with the costs associated with bringing Rick home and saying their final goodbyes, a fundraising initiative has been started. The goal is to alleviate some of the financial strain so that she can focus on healing and celebrating Rick's life—with the dignity and love he truly deserves.

In this time of sorrow, any support offered to Barbara and the Colberg family would be invaluable as they navigate this challenging chapter. Let us come together as a community to honor Rick's memory and ensure Barbara feels the love and support she so deeply needs.

Thank you for helping bring Rick home, as we all remember a cherished life that will truly be missed.
