Raymond (Rick) Fayne Reddish Obituary (1942

Beloved husband, father, grandfather, and brother Raymond (Rick) Fayne Reddish, 81 of St George Utah, passed away peacefully at St George Regional Hospital on March 15, 2024. Rick was born on April 23, 1942, in Los Angeles California to Fayne Everett and Elsie (Goldie) Reddish and eventually graduated from Glenns Ferry High School in Glenns Ferry, Idaho. Rick went on to have a long and successful career in the US Navy retiring as a Senior Chief Petty Officer and Vietnam veteran having served all over the world. It was after retiring from the Navy that Raymond met his soul mate, Sharrie (Belnap) Reddish. The two adored each other and after a long and enjoyable engagement, were married in Kuai, Hawaii on May 5, 1996. Rick and Sharrie were both fond of traveling and the sea, frequently combining the two pleasures on their many vacations to San Diego, the Hawaiian Islands, and the Washington D.C., Alexandria, Virginia area. Rick and Sharrie found they enjoyed the sea so much they moved to Waldport, Oregon where they lived for a time on the ocean, enjoying daily walks on the beach and seafood in the harbor. Sharrie and Rick were a fantastic team, enjoying life as not only husband and wife, grandpa and grandma, but as best friends. They remained married for 25 years until Sharrie’s passing in November of 2021 from Alzheimer’s. Rick never left her side as Sharrie battled with her disease and if anything, became a more devoted and loving husband the farther she slipped away. Rick was preceded in death by his parents, sister Phyllis, first wife Jeanette, second wife Sharrie, and two daughters, Kimberli Reddish and Tammy Ash. He is survived by his sister Eva Allene Solosabal of Glenns Ferry, Idaho, three stepdaughters Heidi McMillon of Boise, Idaho, Karrie Patterson of Harveyville, Kansas, and Kathy Brown of Chubbuck, Idaho; and was the proud grandfather of 9 grandchildren, and 11 great grandchildren. Rick will be interred at a graveside service with full military honors alongside his wife Sharrie at the Snake River Canyon National Cemetery at 1:00 pm on April 5, 2024.
