Richard “Rich” Atkinson
Richard “Rich” Eric Atkinson was born on September 17, 1973, to Jay and Charlene Atkinson. Rich was the 17th of 17 children, so he was fearless. On Monday March 2, 2026, Rich passed away surrounded by his loved ones. Rich celebrated 33 years of marriage with his soulmate Elenior “Ellie” Kathleen Atkinson during which time they had 3 kids, Denyce Atkinson, Jaymie Atkinson, and Brandon Atkinson, daughter-in-law Kendra Atkinson, and 3 grandchildren Kato Cale, Kohwen Martinez and Shayne Cale.
First and foremost, Richard was a dedicated family man who could be found outside with his loved ones enjoying time together. Secondly, Richard was a machinist by trade.
A public viewing will be held at Leavitt’s Mortuary & Aultorest Memorial Park, 836 36th St Ogden, on Friday, March 13th from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. There will also be a celebration of life to follow the viewing located at 2223 N 1000 W Clinton, from at 2:30-4 p.m.
