Captain Richard F. “Rick” Gossman, 51, was at home surrounded by family when he left this earth to begin his eternal round of golf on August 17, 2018, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born March 6, 1967, he was a lifelong resident of Louisville, Kentucky, and a graduate of Trinity High School.

Rick served his community for 32 years as a volunteer firefighter with McMahan Fire Department and passed his passion along to his son and several recruitment classes.

Rick was a regional manager and sales trainer with L’Amy America. He enjoyed teaching others and valued the friendships he made over the years, across many states.

He is survived by his loving wife, Sheri Berrier, and adored children, Joshua Gossman and Camille Berrier.
