 Richard's love for speed took many forms, from racing cars to his true passion-motorcycles. He was an avid rider, a regular at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and participated in the annual Toys for Tots motorcycle parade benefiting Children's Hospital. His enthusiasm for motorcycles was matched only by his deep appreciation for gun collecting an activity that brought him great joy and was a testament to his dedication and craftmanship.

Upon moving to Colorado, he embraced hiking and camping, immersing himself in the beauty of his surroundings.

His leadership in the kitchen was marked by his strong work ethic, dedication, and commitment to excellence. Richard's colleagues admired his professionalism and the positive energy he brought to the workplace.

 Richard's determination, strength, and positive energy shaped his life and those around him. He was known for his unwavering support of family and friends, always ready to lend a helping hand or offer a kind word. His legacy of love, resilience and enthusiasm for life will continue to inspire all who knew him.

 Richard leaves behind his parents, Brad and Amy Clark: his wife, Cynthia Clark, and countless friends and family who will miss him dearly. In remembering Richard, we honor the spirit of adventure, loyalty, and love that embodied him. Though he is no longer with us, his memory will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.

 Rest in peace, Richard. Your spirit will forever live on through the love and lives you touched.
