CP Partners honors the life and contributions of Rick Sanner. Rick was a beloved member of the CP Partners family and had a tremendously positive impact on our company, our culture, and each one of us who had the privilege to know him.  He was an amazing broker but an even better human being.  Consummately fair, always willing to help, and wise beyond his years, Rick’s laughter and sharp wit never failed to light up our office and make everyone’s day a little brighter.  We are heartbroken by his loss but inspired by his memory.

Rick passed surrounded by family and loved ones and is survived by his wife, son, parents, and two brothers, to whom we extend our deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Rest in Peace, Rick, and forever in our hearts.
