Richard "Dick" Victorson of Flower Mound, Texas, passed away peacefully on October 5, 2025,
surrounded by his loving family. He was 81 years old. Though our hearts ache with his loss, we
are comforted to know that he is no longer in pain.

Dick was born in Escanaba, Michigan, on January 24, 1944, to Albert and Ethel Victorson. After
graduation from Escanaba Area High School, he attended Central Michigan University in Mt.
pleasant.

In 1965, Dick married his childhood sweetheart, Delores "Dolly" Waak. Their love story began in
Escanaba and grew stronger through 60 years of marriage. Together, they raised three
wonderful children--- a son, Dana, and daughters Dawn and Jennifer. Their family later grew to
include three amazing grandchildren: Jacob, Rowan and Ella, who brought Dick endless pride
and joy.

Over the years, the family made homes in Ypsilanti, Michigan; Bloomington, Minnesota; and
finally, in Flower Mound, Texas.

Dick's career included 25 years as a revenue agent for the Michigan Department of Treasury,
and another 15 years in the same capacity for the state of Colorado. He took pride in his work
and built lasting friendships along the way.

His faith and church affiliations were always among his top priorities. He served on church
councils and taught Lutheran confirmation for several years in both Minnesota and Texas.
Sports were a big part of his life. He played baseball and football growing up and then softball
and golf as an adult. He loved being part of a team, giving his time generously to his community
as a Cubmaster with the Boy Scouts and coaching youth sports. He loved watching his children
and grandchildren in their various sports and activities, whether on the ice, the field, the gym or
the stage.

Dick was a loyal fan of Michigan football ["Go Blue"], the Minnesota Vikings, and Dallas Stars
hockey. He often was a very vocal armchair quarterback on game days.

Dick is survived by his wife, Dolly; his son, Dana; his daughters Dawn [Kenny] Bennett and
Jennifer Victorson; and his grandchildren, Jacob and Ella Bennett, and Rowan Victorson. He is
also survived by his sister, Janet Stasewich; brother, Dennis [Nancy] Victorson and many nieces,
nephews, and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents.

A Celebration of Life service will be held at Living Word Lutheran Church in Grapevine, TX, on November 8, 2025,
at 11:00 AM.

Memorials may be made to Living Word Lutheran Church, 2031 W. Northwest Hwy. Grapevine,
TX 76051
