Our wonderful husband, dad, grandpa, and brother, Richard (Rick) M. Wenger passed away September 26, 2020, after a long battle with Parkinsons and dementia. He passed peacefully with his sweetheart, Rolayne, at his side.
Rick was born on September 14, 1945 in Salt Lake City, Utah. He married Rolayne Richardson Wenger on September 5, 1968 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in June 1974, where together they raised their five children.
He was a strong manager in the business community and served actively in the LDS church. He served as Bishop, Counselor in the Las Vegas East Stake presidency, Executive Secretary to three Area Seventies, and was the Area Welfare Specialist. He earned the Silver Beaver in the Scouting Program, and also spent 17 years serving the young women at Girls Camp. Those who served with Rick said that he was “a man of reason”.
We will miss most of all his sense of humor and his devotion to his Heavenly Father. He held fast to his testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rick is survived by his beloved wife of 52 years, Rolayne; his five children, Boyde Wenger (Fiona), DeEtte Young (Allen), Royden Wenger (Heidi), Katrina Sanchez (Steve), Leigh Wenger (Angel); eight grandchildren, 2 sisters and 3 brothers.
The funeral will be held on Friday, October 2, at 10:00 a.m. at the Anthem Hills Stake Center. Due to Covid restrictions, only family and close friends will be allowed to attend the funeral. A graveside service will be held at 12:00 p.m. at Palm Mortuary, 7600 Eastern Ave LV NV 89121. All are welcome to attend the graveside service.
