Nolan Richard Cain

Nolan, fondly known as Rick, a beloved father, grandfather, and Navy Veteran, passed away on August 25, 2023, in Mountain Home, Arkansas. He was 70 years old.

Born on December 26, 1952, in Rayville, Louisiana, Rick loved his family and country. He proudly served in the United States Navy, dedicating 4 years (1972-1976) of his life to protecting and serving his nation. His commitment and bravery earned him the respect and admiration of his fellow servicemen.

After retiring from the Navy, Rick found solace in the peacefulness of nature, particularly through his beloved hobbies of hunting and fishing. The tranquility of the great outdoors provided him with moments of joy and reflection, allowing him to appreciate the wonders of life. Whether it was spending countless hours waiting patiently for the perfect catch or exploring the wilderness with his son, Rick found immense fulfillment in these activities.

However, above all else, Rick’s heart belonged to his family, and his love for them was immeasurable. His greatest joy came from being a caring father and doting grandfather. The love he had for his grandkids was unparalleled, and he cherished every moment spent with them, whether it was telling them his story that he wrote, taking them places with him, or simply being present, he treasured the time he had with his grandchildren, and they were the light of his life.
