Richard (Rick) E Vance Jr, 69, of Clearwater, Florida, passed away on Wednesday,
January 10, 2024 at Northside Hospital of heart failure.
He was born on July 7, 1954 in Detroit to Richard E and Rose Vance of Canton, Ohio,
who both preceded him in death.
As a young man in Canton, Ohio, Rick was an entertainer.
He was a talented musician
and had a clear, pure voice with a remarkable tone.
He performed sometimes as the lead singer in a band, and other times
as a solo performer with just a guitar and a microphone.
In either case, his charisma was captivating, and his talent was
extraordinary. He adored long rides on his beloved motorcycle almost as much as he loved music.
Later in life, he became an architectural designer and enjoyed his work until his
retirement.
He was survived by his long term partner, Toni Ciraci, and stepdaughter, Alina Ciraci,
both of Clearwater. He was also survived by his loving daughters, Danette Muntean of
Canton, Ohio and Misty Barker of Orlando, Florida, by his sister, Devorae’h Long of
Greenwood, Indiana, his best friend, Tim Ward of Canton, his grandchildren, Kailey
Autrey of Orlando, Reese Barker of Orlando, Destiny Quinn and Jaden Mutean of Ohio,
and great grandchild, Desmond Taye Blair of Orlando.
He was preceded in death by his daughter Angela Lovejoy of Ohio and his grandson,
Brennan Quinn of Ohio
The family will have services at a later time.
