RICHARD HAROLD BERRYMAN

November 28, 1943 to May 26, 2016

Richard, son of Harold and Edith Berryman, was born and raised in Boulder, Colorado, and graduated from Boulder High School in 1961.
After high school, Richard joined the US Navy where he served as an ETN2 on a minesweeper in the Pacific during the Berlin and Cuban crises.
He lived in Gold Hill, Lake City, Longmont, Westminster, Grand Junction, and most recently relocated to Loveland, Colorado to be closer to family.
You might say that Richard lived fast and died quickly with only two months from the date of his diagnosis with stage 4 cancer until his death. He died peacefully in Hospice without lingering, suffering or compromising his quality of life. Even during the last few days of his life, Richard had a wry sense of humor.

He was active throughout life, with a love of mountains, running, cycling, hiking, skiing and working out to stay fit. He had a voracious appetite for learning and teaching. He was an Associate Professor at Regis University for more than 25 years and was selected as a member of their prestigious Ignatian Scholars Program.

He is survived by wife his of 30 years, Jeanne Kuckelman Berryman; daughter, Kara Berryman Burns; granddaughter, Ansley Elizabeth Burns; and brother, Ralph Berryman and his wife, Trudy Berryman of Grand Junction, Colorado.

Richard was a member of All Saints Episcopal Church in Loveland, CO and was active in the Colorado Episcopal Diocese, serving on the Board of Examining Chaplains, Church Development Institute and Commission on Ministry.
