Richard Raymond Novotny

Richard “Rick” Novotny, 56, unfortunately suffered an untimely passing in Surprise, Arizona July 24, 2014. He was born March 21, 1958, in Tawas City, Michigan to the parents of Richard and Geraldine Broehm and later raised by Frank and Geraldine Novotny after the unfortunate passing of his birth father, Richard Broehm, Sr.

In Ricks younger years he spent some time traveling the open roads of this great country as a simi-truck driver and later in life Rick enjoyed his career as Registered Nurse with a lengthy history of Flight Nursing in the state of Texas followed by ICU and CVICU nursing in the Phoenix area. In his free time he continued his passion for the open road on his Harley Davidson. He spent many hours and miles riding with his loving wife, Lisa. And his most recent, new found, passion was for the thrill and excitement of the speed of sports biking. He spent several rides leaving Lisa in the dust as he blazed the trail ahead…just because he could.

He is preceded in death by his father Richard Raymond Broehm Sr.

He is succeeded by his loving wife Lisa Novotny, adopted father, his mother, his three sisters and his four children Jared Novotny, Kristin Novotny, Sarah Novotny and Parker Novotny.

Donations on Rick’s behalf can be made to the “Richard R. Novotny Benefit Fund” at any Wells Fargo Bank - Nation Wide
