On the afternoon of January 16, 2016, Rick passed away at Orange Regional Medical Center with his family by his side. Rick was born in Orlando; he was the youngest child, of Gloria and Donald Yetter who preceded him in death.
Rick is survived by his beloved Cat Tazz, brothers Donald Yetter (Johnnie Faye) of Bradenton, Fl., and Steven Yetter (Cynthia) of Oviedo, Fl., his Sister Barbara Luse-Hanson (Greg) of Wellborn, Fl., his Nieces Michellena Yetter and Sandy Edwards both of Oviedo, Fl., his Nephew Gerald Reppond-Yetter of Bradenton Fl. and two Great Nephews Lee and Bentlee Edwards of Oviedo, Fl. and many lifelong friends that he chose to be his family.
Racing is something most people will never understand. It's not just a sport or something to do on Saturday and Sunday. It was a great passion for Rick, it was in his blood. The track was his home away from home. He could smell the fuel when he talked about the rubber burning on the track. All that knew him knew those screaming engines, were music to his ears.
A celebration of life graciously provided by Jeff Mathis will be held at 4902 S Orange Ave, Orlando, FL 32806. The celebration will be held on Sunday February 7, 2016 between 11:00 am and 2:00 pm. Food and drinks will be provided. Please honor Rick's memory by joining us for this celebration.
