A much loved husband, father, son, brother, uncle, grandfather, and great-grandfather passed on to his Father in Heaven on September 5, 2026 in Salt Lake City, Utah at the age of 91. He was born on May 13, 1935 in Salt Lake City, Utah to his parents Richard Carl F. and Gladys (Fidler) Reimann. He had three siblings of which he was third in line and is the last survivor of his original family Don (Virginia), Jolene (Bill), Rich (Veronica), and Ann (David). At a young age he spent a lot of time in Grantsville, Utah where he learned a love of the outdoors, hunting, and fishing with his Uncle Merrill and Uncle Wilton. He was a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

He later went into the Airforce where he had a strong desire to serve his country. He was stationed in England as an Airborne Radar Maintenance Repair man where he met the love of his life, Veronica (Ronnie) Briggs. They were married on July 14, 1955 and have remained married for over 71 years. Together they had two sons, Richard Michael Reimann (Rick) (1956), and Mitchel Robert Reimann (1959).

When they returned to the United States, Rich attended the University of Utah and then they moved to Seattle Washington. He initially worked for Bowing, then moved to the applied physics laboratory where he worked for the United States Navy. There he helped with the third phase of research and development for computers, specifically designed to advance underwater research and ballistic sonar testing. In his spare time, he had a transmission repair business in his garage. 

After several years in Washington, his parents asked him to return home to the struggling family business, where he could see his family’s need for him to be here and he worked as a licensed general contractor and a structural steel welder running the fabrication and the manufacturing of precast stone. He later became a demolition expert in the two mines the family had.

He had a love for flying and he initially got his pilots license and later his commercial helicopter license where he was able to do arial photography. His love for photography also lead him to photographing horses for magazines and breeding operations along with weddings and individual photography.

He is survived by his wife Veronica (Ronnie), his two sons, Rick (Wendy) and Mitch, his grandchildren Raquel (Kris), Kellen (Ashley), Kory (Alexandra), Tiffini (Jim), Stephen (Paulina), and his great grandson, Cooper. He is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
