IN MEMORIAM

The National Association of Chinese Americans wishes to share the following announcement:

It is with the deepest sorrow and the heaviest of hearts that the National Association of Chinese Americans formally announces the passing of Mr. Ricardo "Ric" Hubler, beloved former President of our NACA-Atlanta Chapter and steadfast champion of the Asian American community, who departed this life whilst in pursuit of his greatest adventure upon the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.

"Ric" Hubler served NACA with uncommon distinction, grace, and devotion. During his tenure as President from 2014 to 2018, he exemplified the highest ideals of our mission — fostering understanding, building bridges between cultures, and advancing the cause of friendship between peoples of all nations. His contributions to the Atlanta community, to Georgia Tech, and to the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce were a testament to a life lived entirely in service to others.

Those fortunate enough to have known Ric will long remember his warmth, his brilliance, his generosity of spirit, and the effortless manner in which he made every person feel seen, valued, and welcomed. He was, in every measure, a gentleman of the highest order.

He is survived by his devoted husband, Mr. Jeff Hubler; his mother, Mrs. Rosalina Hubler; his brother, Mr. Will Hubler; and his nephews, Presley and Tate, to whom we extend our most sincere and heartfelt condolences. May they find comfort in the knowledge that his legacy shall endure in all whom he touched.

Ric Hubler shall be profoundly and irreplaceably missed.

Issued with great solemnity on behalf of the National Association of Chinese Americans,

Lani Wong
Chairwoman, National Association of Chinese Americans

"He lived not for himself, but for the world he hoped to leave better than he found it."
