Richard George Loveridge passed away peacefully on December 7, 2019 surrounded by family. He was born on February 23, 1924 in Salt Lake City, to William George Loveridge and Christina Bowman Loveridge. He attended East High School and later graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in biology.  Richard served in the United States Armed Forces during World War II. In 1957 he married the love of his life, LaRae Strong Loveridge.
Richard loved the outdoors, especially his time as a Forest Ranger at Yellowstone National Park. He also loved many activities like hiking, camping, skiing and fly fishing. Richard was a very handy man. He had a knack for fixing almost anything. Our father was our hero. He led by example as he was a devoted care taker for his sweetheart. He was always by her side and never wavered. We are thankful to know of the wonderful reunion they are having on the other side.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents, his wife; brother, Wally; sister, June and his son, Tom.
He is survived by his children: Karen, Bill (Cindy), Lisa (Patrick) and Gary (Pamela), 12 grandchildren and numerous great grandchildren.
