Durkee, Oregon
February 18, 1936 – November 5, 2026
Richard Thomas D’Ewart, 90, of Durkee, Oregon, passed away on November 5, 2026.
Born on February 18, 1936, in Livingston, Montana, Richard grew up working on his family’s ranch, developing a lifelong love for the land and the western way of life.
In 1967, Richard married his wife, Ann. Together, they built a life centered around family and hard work. They moved in 1975 to Oregon, where Richard made his home in Durkee for the remainder of his life while continuing his passion for ranching.
Richard deeply valued his community and never passed up an opportunity for a good visit. Always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need—whether a lifelong neighbor, a friend, or someone he had just met—he genuinely enjoyed people and the lasting friendships he made along the way.
Above all, Richard was a devoted father to his daughters, Tory and Marilyn. He was actively involved in everything they did growing up, and his enthusiasm for sports and cheering from the sidelines carried right on to his grandchildren, whose activities and accomplishments brought him tremendous joy.
Richard will be remembered for his steadfast devotion to his family, his dedication to ranching, and his loyal friendship. His legacy lives on through the family he raised, the lives he touched, and the memories shared by all who knew him.
Richard was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Ann, in 2022.
He is survived by his daughters, Marilyn Logsdon (Kevin) and Tory Kernion (Dave); his grandchildren, Austin Kernion, Taylor Kernion, Jaxon Logsdon, and Lily Logsdon; and his great-grandchildren, Harper Kernion and Declan Kernion.
