"We are saddened to hear the news of Rick Schwartz's sudden passing.
"Rick and his wife, Carol, have been part of our family since Jaden was drafted to our team back in 2010. Rick was a frequent visitor to St. Louis, and I always enjoyed seeing him around the rink and on our annual Father's Trips, where he often was the life of the party.
"Rick's tireless efforts to support cancer research through the Mandi Schwartz Foundation were unmatched. Through those efforts, a bone marrow drive at a Blues game in 2018 led to a life-saving transplant for a teenager in Alabama.
"I'd like to extend the full support of the Blues organization to Jaden, Rylan, Carol and the entire Schwartz family during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you."
