Rick Anthony Foster, 67, of Walton, Kentucky, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, July 6, 2025, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Edgewood. The son of Henry and Joyce {Mesley} Foster, Rick was born on December 4, 1957, in Cincinnati, OH.
In his younger years, Rick enjoyed golfing and skiing, embracing every opportunity to be outdoors and active. He had a deep love for exploring the beauty of nature, spending countless hours traveling to national parks across the country. Among his favorite places were the Grand Canyon where he worked in one of the gift shops for several years, creating lasting memories and the shores of Huntington Beach, California. Rick also treasured the time spent camping and reconnecting with his friends. He also found joy and companionship in the family dogs, who brought endless love to his life.
He will be deeply missed by his mother, Joyce Foster; siblings Shon Foster and Moriah Moore; niece McKenna Moore; and the three family dogs that he cherished, Thunder, Tito, and Tessy. Rick was preceded in death by his father, Henry Foster.
Rick will be laid to rest privately at Walton Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made in Rick's honor to the Boone County Animal Shelter by clicking here. To share a memory or leave a condolence for the Foster Family, please visit the corresponding tabs on this page.
