1948-2025

Aurora, MO-With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Richard L. Weber ("Dick"), who left this world peacefully on May 27, 2025, at the age of 77.

Born on January 24, 1948, Dick lived a life marked by bold and powerful strength, deep loyalty, and an unwavering love for his family. He proudly and honorably served his country as a patriot in the Vietnam War. His time of service revealed his deep sense of duty, resilience and courage, remaining an integral part of who he was. Although that experience left a lasting imprint, it also revealed his dedication to those he served with and those he loved at home.

Dick was a man of many passions. He found peace and joy in the great outdoors, especially fishing, camping, and cruising. A craftsman at heart, he loved building detailed model ships and cars, often spending hours perfecting each creation. His hands were rarely still, always working, creating, or helping someone in need-and his heart was always open to those around him. Golf was his greatest passion. It is a game he loved not only for its challenge but for the companionship and calm it offered. Whether walking the fairway or working on his swing, Dick found serenity and joy in the game.

Alongside these passions, one of Dick's most faithful companions was his beloved dog, Red. More than just a pet, Red was a true and loyal friend who watched over Dick for many years. She stood faithfully by his side through life's quiet moments and daily routines, offering comfort, companionship, and unwavering devotion.

Dick was a devoted father to Judy, Jackie, Heidie, Fred (who preceded him in death in 2021), Richard, and Diann S. He shared many years with his first wife, Diann, who passed away in 1999. Later, he found companionship and love again with Pamela, with whom he gained two more children-Aimee and Jacob-and became a proud grandfather to Makala, welcoming them into his heart and life with joy.

Dick was also preceded in death by his parents, Richard and LaRue, and brothers Curtis and Billy. He is survived by his brothers Dennis and Kevin, who carry forward the bond of brotherhood they shared.

His life was defined by love, service, and wisdom. He faced both hardship and joy with quiet dignity and will be remembered for his steady and strong presence, wry sense of humor, and the deep love he held for his family.

A private service will be held to honor his life on June 21 at his home in Aurora MO. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to a veteran's organization of your choice, in memory of Dick's service and sacrifice.

He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered and always cherished.
