Ronald D. Richards, 74, of Las Vegas, NV passed away peacefully at home February 24, 2014 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Ron was born June 29,1939 in Salt Lake City, UT to Mable and Ronald Richards. After graduating from West High School in Salt Lake City, Ron served 4 years in the United States Air Force.

Seattle area and later was the co-owner of two businesses. He retired in 2000, and he and his wife Judy moved to Las Vegas in 2004 where he enjoyed the warm weather, spending time with family and friends, golf and “a little gambling”. Even after leaving Seattle, he was a dedicated Seahawks fan and witnessing his beloved Hawks win the Super Bowl was a “best moment”. Ron loved life, family, and friends, which often came in the form of pool/card party host. His greatest joy was spending time with his children, grandchildren, and three grand nieces; he was so proud of each of them and their accomplishments. Ron will live forever in our memories and hearts.
