Son of Geraldine and Bill Panas (predeceased), survived by his wife Monica and children Sarah and Jaime Panas. Grandchildren, Benjamin and Paige Amari (Keenan Digiglio), great-granddaughter Keeanna, siblings Cathy Martin (Bryan), Debbie McCoy, Dawn Young (Mark), Wendy Fram (Brian). Cousin to Rosanne Warenda (David), Paul (Heather) and Peter Panas. Uncle to Kari and Sandy, Billy, Melanie, Priscilla and Sam. Jesse, Jordan and Briana. Jordan and Kyle, Shawna and Greg. Rick will also be missed by his extended family, many friends and his musical brothers & sisters and countless fans from his many years as a renowned and admired drummer in the Sudbury music community. We invite you to join us at The Durham Social, on Durham Street, Downtown on Friday, February 24th to celebrate his birthday and his life. Let's join together and make music in his memory. Come raise a glass and we'll send him off to that great gig in the sky. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Rick Panas Blues For Food Fund, a cause near and dear to his heart (www.gofundme.com/the-rick-panas-blues-for-food-fund). Arrangements in care of Simple Wishes of the North. (705) 470-7070
