Our loving Husband, Dad, and Son, Richard Kendall Allred, age 32, passed peacefully from this earth into the loving arms of his Savior on September 24, 2016. He will be remembered by all as a creative, witty, hardworking, fun-loving man who truly loved his family and livedlife to the fullest. We have all been so blessed to have known him.
Richard was sealed in the Jordan River Temple to Tashina Marie Matern, daughter of Richard and Carla Matern, on October 7, 2006. Together they brought three beautiful children into this world - Tanner Richard Allred (7), Reed Kendall Allred (5) and Rawlee Voe Allred (3). He was a kind and loving husband and father, taking exceptional care of his family. His children adored and idolized their Dad as their protector, best friend, and inventor of their dreams. He taught them that they can do anything they dream, and become anyone they choose to be.
Richard was born on December 8, 1983 to Ken and Cheryl Allred. Richard, we love you and will always hold a special place in our hearts for you. He was a wonderful big brother to Craig (Corinne) Allred and Eric (Karen) Allred, teaching them many of life's important lessons.
Richard is an Eagle Scout and served an LDS mission to the Philippines. He attended Riverton High School and received a Master's Degree in Psychology, with honors, from the University of Phoenix. Richard owned a very successful vocational rehabilitation business ‚ Reliant Services. He was a very compassionate person who, from a very young age, showed love and concern for others, which carried into his business and personal life.
He has been greeted on the other side by his grandmother, Anona Stewart Allred, his grandfather, Richard Leon Oakford, and Tashina's grandmother, Shirley Jane Matern.
