Ric Kanatzar

Richard Lawrence Kanatzar, III (Ric) was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August 6, 1970 where he lived until the age of 7. The family relocated to Longview, Texas where he graduated from Pine Tree High School in 1988. Ric later attended and graduated from Texas Tech University where
he was a member of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.

After graduating college, Ric moved to the Dallas area where he worked as a successful Managing Director for Savills in commercial real estate since 2000.  His greatest accomplishment however, was the relationships he had with his family, friends and colleagues. He was quick to give support, a shoulder to lean on, but mostly the comic relief in any situation. In fact, most people would agree that he would bring life to any room. But out of all of those things, the most important thing to him was being a father to his son, Jake. Jake was his whole world and his purpose.

Ric was preceded in death by his son, Jake Dillon Kanatzar. He is survived by parents, Larry and Julie Kanatzar; siblings, Brian Kanatzar and Kelly Lunardon; nieces, Kelsey, Macy and Abby and many in-laws, aunts, uncles, and cousins.

There will be a Celebration of Life at 4:00 pm on Saturday, April 30, 2022 at Allen Family Funeral Options.  For those who cannot attend, the service will be Live Streamed and recorded for future viewing at: http://webcast.funeralvue.com/events/viewer/72814
