Richard Robuck passed away in Des Moines, IA at 63 years old on Monday, 4/18/2022 around 3pm. He was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer on March 31st, 2022. During his illness he was surrounded by family, friends, all people he loved.

Richard was born and raised in Southern California, more specifically Riverside area. Some of his favorite memories growing up were at the beach. Even after he moved he still cheered for the LA Rams. Other than California he has lived in Reno, Oregon, and Iowa. He said his favorite place he lived was Norwalk, IA because that is where he raised his only child, Sarah, on his own. His all time favorite memories are of her as a baby. His favorite pass-times were taking care of her and his cats and relaxing while watching sports or Law & Order. He has had many careers including owning his own roofing company, printing, firefighting, manufacturing companies, delivery driving, and more. He worked whatever hours and as many days needed in order to provide. His favorite job out of all was printing at RR Donnelley in Reno, Nevada. His passions included being a good dad, rescuing cats, helping people, going to church and reading the Bible.

He is preceded in death by his parents (Mike and Cleo Robuck), brothers (Paul Robuck and Johnny Robuck), sister (Melody Hutchinson), brother in law (Merlin Hutchinson), nephew (Curtis Wells), and cousin (Scott Robuck) as well as many more family that will welcome him with open arms in Heaven.
