He was born February 23, 1928 in Farmington.
Married the love of his life, Leora Kirk.
Richard served his mission in Denmark and continued his passion for service by becoming a military police officer in the United States Air Force. His hunger for knowledge lead him to read many books. He was very interested in sports and never wanted to miss a Jazz game. Richard volunteered most of his free time to his church and participated in many of their activities.
However, his greatest passion was his family. His love of his family was so strong it was almost a fault. He was a man that would sacrifice anything for the happiness of his wife and family. Richard was a dedicated husband, supportive father, a playful grandpa and the sweetest great grandfather in the world.
He is survived by his children, Cindy, Kathy, Anita, Kevin, and Karen. They each blessed Richard with grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He spent his last years living with his son, Kevin; Shirlene; and grandson, Taylor.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Leora Kirk; father, Oliver Frank Steed; mother, Mable Lindsey; and all fourteen of his brothers and sisters.
Friends and family are invited to attend the funeral service held on Thursday, December 29, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. Service located at Mountain View Memorial Estates, 3115 East Bengal Boulevard (7800 South), Cottonwood Heights.
Graveside services will follow at 2:30 p.m.
