Richard Allen Faflick

Richard (Rick) Faflick (66), passed away Sunday, October 25th, 2026. Rick recently retired after 35 years from Sedgwick County EMS as a Lieutenant paramedic. He was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1960 and later moved Huntington Beach, California with his family before making Wichita, Kansas, his home. He attended Kansas University and later graduated from Southwestern College. After graduation he worked for Butler County EMS before becoming a Sedgwick County paramedic. Rick dedicated his life to helping others during some of the most crucial moments of their lives.

In his free time, he enjoyed making others laugh, sometimes by telling a joke or just a simple facial expression. He also enjoyed hunting, fishing, and spending time with family and friends. His favorite hobby was cooking, trying new recipes, and cooking meals for others. Especially his famous jambalaya and Faflick turkey stuffing.

The lives he touched will continue to impact others for years to come. He was greatly loved and will be truly missed in so many ways.

Rick is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law, Courtney and Cale Clough, and Ashley and Shane Lymer; brothers and sisters-in-law, Bill and Diann Faflick, Jeff and Jennifer Faflick, and Steve and Kelly Faflick; grandchildren, Emme Clough, Lincoln Clough, Ella Lymer, Evelyn Lymer, Lawrence Lymer and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
