Obituary

Richard Allen Mohler 1968 ~ 2016

Richard Allen Mohler of McKinney, Texas passed away unexpectedly from heart failure, at home, on Saturday, July 23rd 2016 at the age of only 47 years. Rick was the first born child to William Thomas Mohler and Bonnie Marie Cirillo Mohler; born November 29, 1968 in Los Angeles, California. He grew up with his family in Des Moines, Iowa before leaving to serve his country as an Aircrewman in the United States Navy during the Gulf War. His time and dedication in the service earned him the National Defense Service Medal and the Navy Good Conduct Medal. After Rick was honorably discharged in 1992, he began his work toward an Associate of Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology. He was recruited by Texas Instruments and moved to Lubbock, TX, where he met his wife, Debra. He eventually settled in McKinney and worked as a Thin Film Equipment Engineering Technician for Texas Instruments, RFAB in Richardson, TX. (He loved those robots, except when they broke!) During this time, Rick proudly earned his Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from the University of Phoenix. Rick had a love for computer technology, movies- especially James Bond, binge watching shows, NASCAR, Dallas Cowboys, the Dodgers, the Lakers, the Iowa Cyclones, and the Texas Longhorns, heavy metal music, shooting, the beach, and, above all else, his family and friends. Rick will be remembered for his optimism, his generosity, his happy-go-lucky attitude, and his 110% dedication to everything he did. He was a hard working man, bold and confident, always thinking of others, and someone who loved to make others happy. He was a loving husband, a great father and grandfather, a wonderful son , big brother, and uncle, and a true friend. He was loved by many and will be deeply missed.

Richard Allen Mohler is survived by his wife of 21 years, Debra Ann Silvas, parents, Bill and Bonnie Mohler, children; Richard Aaron Mohler, Joshua Leigh Silvas, Andrea Celeste Silvas, and Damian Allias Silvas, grandson, Elijah Geovanne Ruiz, grandfather, Howard Mohler, siblings; Sherry Carrington (Chad), Sarah Boten (Chris), Michael Mohler (Michele), in-laws, Daniel and Hope Gonzales, his (Yorkie) boy- Spencer, and 11 nieces and nephews, as well as extended loving family and friends.

    Mohler, Boten and Carrington family: My thoughts and prayers to God are with you and for you during this season of pain, loss, heartache and questioning. I wish I had known Rick. He was clearly a wonderful man, husband and father. May Christ Jesus be your peace and comfort during this time (2 Cor. 1:3-7).

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
