2nd Annual Joe Rickman Memorial Concert

Join us for an evening of music, community, and giving as we honor the life and legacy of Joe Rickman —a man of integrity, kindness, and unwavering dedication to the people around him. Joe was a devoted husband, father, engineer, and mentor. His work in civil engineering and transportation safety made a lasting impact on Southwest Missouri, from pioneering the divergent diamond interchange in Springfield to advocating for roadway safety and intelligent transportation systems. Beyond his career, he was a pillar of love and support for his family, always encouraging his children and their peers to chase their dreams. As a wish dad , Joe experienced firsthand the incredible impact of Make-A-Wish , an organization that gave his family the gift of hope during difficult times. To continue his legacy of giving, we have partnered with Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas to help grant wishes for children in Southwest Missouri who are waiting for the gift of hope.
