Interment followed at Heard Cemetery in Manifest, under the direction of Young's Funeral Home. The family received friends at the funeral home on Friday, October 17, 2025 from 5pm until 8pm.
Rick was born on Sunday, November 20, 1949 in Vancouver British Columbia, Canada and passed away Monday, October 13, 2025 in Alexandria, LA. Rick was an athletic and driven man whose passion for sports and life carried through everything he did. In high school, he played center on the football team, later becoming a standout defensive tackle in college before taking his talent to the professional level in Canada. His competitive spirit remained strong as he enjoyed playing volleyball every Sunday.
Beyond athletics, Rick was a proud farmer and the owner of White House Farms, where he found peace riding his bicycle along the turn rows. He had a deep love for his English Springer Spaniels and German Shepherds, who were always by his side.
Rick’s greatest joy came from his family — his beloved wife, son, and grandson — and the many friends who became like family through the years. His warm heart, dedication, and larger-thanlife presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
He is reunited with his parents, David Allen Krahn and Marjorie McBeth Krahn.
Those left to cherish Rick's memory are his wife of 54 years, Ann Christiansen Krahn of Jonesville, LA; son, Chris Krahn and wife Tara of Jena, LA; brother, Christopher James Krahn; grandson, Blake Krahn of Jena, LA; and a host of nieces, nephews, family, and friends.
Those honoring Rick as pallbearers were Blake Krahn, Jeffery Cater, Jimbo Pardue, Jimbo McMillin, Tim White, and Albert Stevison.
Honorary pallbearers were Al Guido, Kenneth Cooper, Melvin Purvis, Tom Cotten, Paul Lazarus, Mike Wilson, and Terry Smith.
