With an extensive acting profile ranging from our familiar American patriot Soldier from Team Fortress 2, to Peppy and Andross from Star Fox, Rick May was a seasoned veteran of voice acting who has left this world today. 

A post from Larry Albert on Facebook was crossposted by the Sniperâs voice actor from TF2, John Patrick Lowrie. Albert, a close friend of May, shares some personal words about May in his memorium post:

Rick May was a force of nature, a pain in the ass sometimes but never to the point where I would not use him again and again. We were working friends, colleagues and buddies. Hopefully there will be those who will speak of his years in the theater, as a teacher, a director and voice talent, of his one-man show as Teddy Roosevelt. I knew the man who asked me if I could get him a copy of an old Republic Studios serial cliffhanger âThe Phantom Riderâ if he got me an autograph from his friend Ty Hardin from the old âBroncoâ TV series.

I knew the man who along with Frank Buxton and David Selvig stood and applauded my daughter Andee when I introduced her to the audience at the Kirkland Performance Center for what would be her first appearance as a professional actor. I knew the man who was always encouraging when I had my bout with cancer. I knew the man whose passing leaves a huge hole in my heart and I believe so many others. I wish you strength Diana. 

Rick I wish for you to know eternal peace. Goodbye buddy, Iâm gonna miss the hell out of you.

May you rest in peace, Rick May, and thank you for your contributions to this world. We wish his family and friends well and offer our condolences.

A memoriam of Rick May has been posted to Rekindle Schoolâs website, where he was an educator and teacher for various types of acting include theater and voice acting work.

The post cited a stroke that May had in February. He was moved to a nursing home before, before catching COVID-19 there, and passed away at the age of 79 at a Swedish hospital. Additionally, the website lists additional portfolio work May has done, including his voiceover work:

…In addition to his appearance in major motion pictures, TV shows and commercials, Rick was featured in many popular video games.  In âStar Fox 64â he was the voice of Peppy Hare and Andross, in âAge of Empires IIâ he was the narrator and voice of Genghis Khan, and was The Soldier in the ongoing game series âTeam Fortress II.â 

…Rick was a wonderful teacher whose classes and students meant the world to him. Heâll be deeply missed.

The website has also listed their email address for those who would like to leave condolences:

If you would like to send condolences to his family, if you send them to [email protected], weâll pass them along.
