Richard Leonard Luque

Richard Leonard Luque, age 65, passed away in Grand Junction, Colorado, on December 18, 2019, at St. Mary’s Hospital after a brief illness. Rick was a devoted father and his children were his pride and joy. He was married to LaDona Decker for 30 years. He loved fishing, camping and spending time with his family. Any chance he got, Rick was in his shed working with his hands and his dog Tyson was by his side. Rick enjoyed making knives, working with leather, making axes and so much more. He recently opened his bar, Wingers in Clifton, which was a life-long dream. He spent the last few months of his life at his bar playing pool, making new friends, and enjoying life.

Rick is survived by his children, Taylor Luque of Grand Junction and Jessica Luque of Scottsdale, AZ; sisters, Rachael Soto, Priscilla Roberts, and Maria Place; brothers, John, Mike, and Robert; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, Doris and Philip Luque Sr.; and his brother, Philip Luque Jr.
