Richard R. "Ric" McCoy

Richard “Ric” R. McCoy, 59, of Plainfield, passed away March 17, 2021.  He was born September 3, 1961 in Indianapolis, IN.  He was a graduate of Plainfield High School Class of 1979.  Ric was a true extrovert. He never met a stranger and loved conversing with anyone and everyone. This came in handy as he made a career for himself in auto sales. He was well known around the Indy area, as he spent time managing stores for Andy Mohr, Ed Martin, and Hubler Automotive.  Ric was an avid racing fan. He attended his first Indy 500 as a young child and proceeded to attend 46 races in a row. He loved spending time at the track and always managed to get himself down into the pits and in the middle of all the action. He always came home with endless photos and epic stories. Ric was an adventurer who loved to travel and experience new places and things, all while documenting everything with his camera. He had a giant soft spot for dogs and loved his Weimaraners. Many will also remember his sense of humor. He never missed a moment for a joke and took pride in pranking his children as often as possible. On weekends he loved spending time around the pool with his family and dogs, taking rides on his Harley, and Sunday couch naps. He will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. As he would say, "Godspeed!"  Ric is survived by his wife, Jennifer J. (Rash) McCoy; his father, Donald R (mother, Cheryl) McCoy; mother, Shirley A. (Ross) McCoy; 4 daughters, Megan E. McCoy, Morgan L. McCoy, Marin Y. McCoy, and Meisyn A. McCoy;  two half-sisters, Tara K. (Samantha) Akers and Cathy Hoffmeister; and a nephew, Ki DeRossett.   A Memorial Visitation will be on Tuesday, March 30, 2021 from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the Plainfield United Methodist Church, 600 Simmons St., Plainfield.  A private family memorial service will be held prior to the visitation. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Love without Boundaries foundation. Website: Lovewithoutboundaries.com   Arrangements by Hampton-Gentry Funeral Home, Plainfield.
