RICHARD ASHMAN Obituary

RICHARD ASHMAN 12/02/1951 - 06/20/2025 In Loving Memory of Richard Lee Ashman It is with deep sorrow and much love that we mourn the passing of our beloved brother, Richard Lee Ashman, who passed away on 6-20-2025 at the age of 74. Born in Richfield UT, Lee was known for his generous heart, sharp wit, and unwavering loyalty to his family and friends. He had a passion for his Harley, traveling, watching any and all kinds of sports, going to RSL soccer games, and BYU vs USU football games, and he never hesitated to lend a helping hand or share a laugh with all the many friends he kept in touch with. Lee is survived by his brother Scott Ashman (Candi Ashman), sister Chrisann Hawley (Mark Hawley), sister Jane Price (Eric Price), sister Joan Beveridge as well as many extended family members and friends who will forever cherish his memory. A special mention goes to Pedro Robles and his family that Lee considered his family for the past 26 years. Pedro and his family took care of Lee and helped him navigate these last few years with love and never wavering commitment. Also thank you to his roommate Bryan Miller, his dog Stormy (Lee's constant companion) and Jeanie Dickinson for their love and support they gave to Lee. He was preceded in death by his father Albert J Ashman Jr, and mother Vauna C. Ashman. To know Lee was to love him. His warmth, humor, and strength of spirit left an impression on everyone he met. Though he is no longer with us in person, his memory will remain alive in our hearts forever. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in Richfield, Utah in September. An announcement will be posted with the date and time.

I was very sorry to hear about Lee's passing. His sardonic sense of humor and love of family were greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten. My phone calls with him were always hilarious forms of first aid. He is already missed!
