Richard Steven Podzimek, son of John and Leona (Carda) Podzimek, was born July 26, 1945 at Avon, SD. He died unexpectedly Friday, February 21, 2014 at the Wagner Community Memorial Avera Hospital. Richard attained the age of 68 years, six months and 26 days.
Richard attended Choteau Creek #9 Country School and later earned his GED. He served his country from 1965 to 1967 in the U.S. Army. After his discharge, he attended Veteran's Agriculture classes and Wildlife Management classes.
Richard married Frances Holzbauer on June 20, 1970 at St. John Catholic Church. Three children were blessed to this union.
Richard farmed for 45 years 10 miles north of Wagner and also worked the sales at the Corsica Sale Barn. He was a member of St. John Catholic Church, Knights of Columbus, Catholic Workmen, and the American Legion Greer Post #11.
Richard loved animals and took much care with his newborn calves. He loved horses, especially his old horse Max. Richard loved being outdoors, hunting, playing cards and
talking about his grandkids. He will be remembered for his light-hearted sense of humor, his positive outlook on life and that he never had a bad word to say about anyone.
