Obituary for Richard Robert Shea
Richard Robert Shea
On the afternoon of April 11, 2015, Richard passed away at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids, MN. He was surrounded by family during the last moments of his life. He was 41 years old. Richard was born in Orange, CA, on December 31, 1973. He was preceded in death by his mother, Linda Shea. Richard is survived by his dad, Michael Shea of Atlantic, IA; his loving wife of 13 years and his best friend in life, Kate; and his beautiful daughter, his princess, Carmela, 8 years old. As a young child, Richard moved to Atlantic, IA. He spent countless summers in Mountain View, MO, with his Aunt Sherry and Anne Bruce. Richard met Kate in Des Moines, IA, in 1998 and they were married in San Diego on December 1, 2001. Richard was a scholar who cultivated a deep passion for reading, the arts, and culture. He graduated from San Diego State University with highest honors as a classicist. He attended the University of Minnesota graduate program where he loved to teach. However, his most cherished and highest honor was the job title of Daddy. During his final days, many people across the country and from around the world shared their tributes to Richard, letting him know how much he'd influenced them and enriched their lives. Memorial service at KOZLAK-RADULOVICH BLAINE CHAPEL (107th Ave. NE & Hwy. 65) Friday at 12 Noon with visitation beginning at 10:30 AM.
