Rick was born on Jan. 3, 1969 in Jonesboro, Ark. to Richard Baugh and Sheila Patrick. A 1987 graduate of Little Rock Central High School, Rick attended and graduated from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville in 1991. Rick was known to all his friends as a loyal and dedicated Arkansas Razorback fan, as well as a volunteer for The Humane Society of North Texas. He was an advocate for shelter animals and staff and participated in many of The HSNT's outreach and fundraising events throughout the years. He was a vocal proponent of kind and compassionate animal care, and loved his own pets as part of his family. He worked for American PromoDFW, and most recently EMS Barcode Solutions. His passion for his work was always evident in the energy he put forth in providing excellent, personalized customer service to every client. The birth of their son, Richard Haven Baugh, in 2012, was an occasion of immense joy and pride for Rick. It would have been impossible to find a daddy anywhere in Texas who would have been more humbled, more proud, or more filled with joy than Rick when he met his son, Haven, for the first time. Together with his wife of 18 years, Robyn Keller-Baugh, they built a life of love to share with their son and extended family.
