Richard Sedar Obituary (1934 - 2021)

Our kind, tender hearted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Richard “Dick” Sedar was reunited with the love of his life Dolores “Dodo” on February 19, 2021. Dick was born on October 9, 1934, in Spokane WA to John Sedar and Thelma Bevan. They later moved to Tooele where he met his sweetheart, Dodo. They married February 20, 1957, in Ely NV. They were blessed with three beautiful children. He retired from the Tooele Army Depot and enjoyed 31 years of retirement. Dick was a talented carpenter, enjoyed reading and all things western. His favorite times were camping with family and friends. He was the camp host for our annual deer camp for many years. He was well known for his dutch oven skills. Our papa always supported his children’s, grandchildren’s and great grandchildren’s sports and dance activities. He also enjoyed cheering on the Utah Jazz. Behind his sparkling blues eyes were heaps of wit, cleverness, humor and stories of times before. Dick shined a light of warmth and love everywhere he went. To know him was to love him. Dick is survived by his children Debi (Gilbert) Hodge-Edgeman, Kathy (Ray) Mansanarez and Richard “Rich” Sedar Jr; grandchildren Taneille (Malik), Rhianon (Shane), Amanda (Marcus) and Nick (Rachel); great grandchildren Emajia, Adrian, Sophia and Estela. He is also survived by his brothers Mike Lamb, Bob and Tom Slowik. He is preceded in death by his wife Dodo; his parents; son-in law Terry Hodge; brothers Bill, Kai and Paul. A celebration of life will be held at a later date due to COVID-19 restrictions. Our lives are forever changed with the passing of our hero.
