Rick was born on April 13, 1950 in Anamosa, Iowa. He was the son of Delbert and Wilma (Blanchard) Mayberry. He graduated from Midland High School in 1969. On August 30, 1969 he married Nancy McAtee.

In 1974 Rick was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. He loved sharing the Good News of God's Kingdom with anyone who wanted to talk.
