He was born on September 1, 1948 in Quantico, VA son of Clements Wright Shiver and Marian Brock Shiver. He was preceded in death by his father.
In addition to Rick’s profound love for his family, he loved fishing (but never catching anything), target shooting, his beloved pets, good wine, good food, good conversation, and good friends. Rick never met a stranger and always made a friend. Though he faced a lifetime of health challenges, he believed that he lived a good life because he loved well and was well loved. He will forever be missed, and the world became a little dimmer without his light.
He is survived by his wife, Sharon (Nickie) Shiver; mother, Marian Shiver; brother, Wayne and his wife Lydia Shiver; son, Matthew Shiver and his partner, Sarah Zachary Sloan and her children, Evie and Emily; son, Joshua Shiver and Fiancée, Morgan Cooper; grandchildren, London Marie Shiver and Lillian Kaye Shiver; niece, Erin Lubin and nephew, Brian Shiver.
A Funeral Service will be held at 11:00am on Tuesday May 9, 2023 at Coble Funeral and Cremation Service at Greenlawn Memorial Park, 1155 Shipyard Blvd, Wilmington, NC 28412. Interment of Rick’s ashes to follow at Greenlawn Memorial Park.
