Richard Dean Sewell, age 81, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on July 13, 2024, after a courageous battle with lung cancer. He was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
Rich was born on July 9, 1943, in Boulder, CO to Phoebe Florence (Reed) and John Turner Sewell. He was the youngest of ten siblings and spent most of his life in Colorado before moving to Mesa, AZ in 2014. Rich married Patsy Ellen Linneman October 24, 1964, in Loveland Colorado. After being widowed for 9 years he married Velma Ann Byers on Nov 17, 2007, in Gilbert Arizona.
Early in his career he owned and operated Sewell Trucking. He was known for his hard work ethic and dedication. He retired from Loveland Ready Mix after 40+ years. In his free time, he really enjoyed bowling. He was in a bowling league for over 45 years participating in many state bowling tournaments. His best memories were bowling with his sons and bowling a perfect 300 game. He also enjoyed horseshoes, playing cards, camping, and watching his favorite sports teams. He was an active member of his 55+ community at Sunland Village East in Mesa, Arizona. He was a dedicated man who loved spending time with his family.
He is survived by his loving wife of over 16 years, Ann; sons, Rich Sewell Jr, Terry (Nalinda) Sewell, Chris Sewell; stepdaughter Lorie (David) Mannon; nine grandchildren, nine great- grandchildren, and sister Joy Stephenson.
His kind, generous nature and dedication to his family and friends will be fondly remembered. We take comfort in knowing his legacy lives on in the lessons he taught us, the love he shared, and the memories we will cherish forever.
A celebration of life will be held for family and friends on August 17, 2024, at 10:00 am at Immanuel Lutheran Church 4650 Sunview Dr #1, Loveland, CO 80538. A luncheon to follow at the church.
