Richard D Muniz

Born on February 10, 1946, in Fort Collins, Colorado, Richard lived a life defined by hard work, dedication to family, and a commitment to helping others. He proudly served in the United States Army before beginning a career that included work in construction, real estate, and as a supply clerk in California. Richard was known for his strong work ethic and his determination to stay busy. Those who knew him often joked that he never really retired.

On December 2, 1967, Richard married the love of his life, Connie, in Colorado. Together they built a family and shared many years of love, laughter, and cherished memories.

Richard was a Catholic and enjoyed scrap metal collecting, gathering wood, shopping, and spending time with family and friends. He was happiest when working on a project, lending a helping hand, or simply enjoying the company of those he loved.

Richard was preceded in death by his parents, several siblings, his daughter Tiffany, and his son Tucker.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Connie; his daughter Tristen and her husband Jason; his grandchildren Tayvin Sanders and Drayk Sanders; his siblings Salvador, Maryann, Lucy, Julie, and Tommy; his faithful dog Charlie; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

He will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
