William Rick Oliver

Notes:

William "Rick" Oliver, age 57, of the Stoney Creek Community, passed away on Thursday, August 9, 2018 surrounded by his family, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Rick was born in Carter County to the late George B. and Anna Lee Taylor Oliver. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a grandson, Keaton Jacobs.

Rick was a loving husband, father and grandfather and was an avid outdoorsman. He had worked as a blue print specialist for Kennametal for more than 35 years and he was of the Baptist faith. Rick loved hunting, fishing, sitting on his front porch looking at his beloved mountains and UT football. His greatest joy was spending time with his beloved and devoted family.

Several nieces and nephews also survive.

The family will receive friends from 1:00 PM until 3:00 PM on Sunday, August 12, 2018 in the Chapel of Peace at Tetrick Funeral Home, Elizabethton or at other times at the home of his sister.
