SHELBY-Richard “Rick” Austell Borders, 70, of Shelby, North Carolina, passed away on September 7, 2020 at his home. Please share any condolences or fond memories of Rick with the family via the Clay-Barnette funeral home website

Though not formally educated, Rick was a master of trivia and clever design ideas. He was at his happiest surrounded by friends and family playing games, laughing, and talking into the night. He learned to cook from his mother Bebe, and could turn the barest staples into a delicious meal. Rick also enjoyed telling stories in a booming baritone voice. He could be both charming and frustrating to those who knew him, but they never doubted his love.
Rick is survived by his wife Patsy and his stepson Eric Rudisill, his brother Charles “Ronnie” Borders and nephews Chris and Keith, and his son Max. His stepgrandchildren are Hannah, Zach, E.J. and Luke. His grandchildren are Sid, Felix, Sophia.
