Mazure, Richard Anthony - of Grand Blanc, died at home surrounded by his loving family on September 14, 2025, at the age of 80, after a lengthy battle with heart and lung disease.
Richard was born to John and Emma (Maurer) Mazure on November 30, 1944 and grew up on a farm in Huron County. Following graduation from Ubly High School, Richard joined the Army and was stationed in Vietnam. Richard married his sweetheart Alicia Tenbusch on April 22, 1967, and they have enjoyed 58 years of wedded bliss. They were blessed with three children: Kevin Mazure (the late Janelle Colby Mazure) of Clarkston, Paul Mazure of Ubly, and Becky (Gregory) Goodheart of Grand Blanc.
Richard and Alicia were blessed with six grandchildren whom he loved dearly: Colby, Carter, and Claire Mazure and Rachel, David, and Joshua Goodheart-all of whom survive him. Richard loved spending time with his family and especially enjoyed the hours and hours of card playing that always took place.
Richard and Alicia owned and operated Ubly Auto Supply for 33 years before retiring to Grand Blanc. They wintered in Florida for 20+ years and were avid travelers around the world. Among his hobbies were playing cards, corn hole, horse shoes, golf, watching baseball and football, and visiting with family and friends.
