Ricky Lee McCabe was born March 31, 1970, to Steve and Bonnie (Ryan) McCabe in Cresco. Rick graduated from Harmony High School in 1988. After high school he attended college in Waseca, Minn., for ag business and then moved to Kansas and worked in hog production. Rick and Amy Frauli were married in 1993 and were blessed with two sons, Shane and Brady, and stepson, Ryan. After living and working in Vernon Center, Minn., they moved to the family farm in 1994. They later divorced. For the past 17 years Rick worked full time for Central Fillmore Foods and part time for Soma Hog, both near Harmony. These jobs enabled him to pursue his real passion of farming. He was always working to improve “Happy Cow Farms.” Rick enjoyed “packing a lunch” and spending time with his many great friends and family. Rick’s love for the farm was shared with his boys and fiancé, Karen. His great smile and humor will always be remembered.

He is survived by his sons, Shane (17) and Brady (15) stepson, Ryan (21); fiancé, Karen Scheevel; mother, Bonnie; sisters, Traci Wilson (Jeff), Tina Gulbranson (Dan); nieces and nephews, Riley, Reece, Ryan, Reegan Wilson and Connor, Chloe, Caylee Culbranson and many, many other relatives and friends.

He was preceded in death by his father, Steve; grandparents, Richard and Gladys McCabe, Harold and Marlys Ryan, and also aunts and uncles.
