Mr. Aragon married Jill Taylor in Green River, Wyoming; they later divorced.

He was an extremely talented welder, working for American Tank & Steel, which allowed him to be an important part of Wyoming’s pipeline industry.

Mr. Aragon was a member of the Holy Spirit Catholic Community.

He loved being outdoors, was very artistic, and enjoyed riding his motor cycle. Richard was an adventurist and was a very skilled welder. Although he struggled, as many of us do, he still loved and was loved. His children are a reminder of the brighter parts of his life and will ensure he is never forgotten, as his gentle smile is etched in each of their faces.

Survivors include two sons; Sterling Aragon of Denver, Colorado, Heath Aragon of Denver, Colorado, one daughter; Sage Aragon of Vernal, Utah, three brothers; Selestino Aragon, Ben Aragon, Ernie Aragon, four sisters; Josephine, Fabie, Teddie, and Mary Jane.

Mr. Aragon was preceded in death by his parents, and one brother; Lee Aragon.

Following cremation, there will be no services, but please remember him by being patient and kind to those of us who may find it harder to stay on a good path. They are no less special to the people whose lives they touched.
