Richard Fewer

Richard Fewer, 60, of Glasgow died Oct. 24, 2024.

He was born prematurely on Dec. 30, 1963, at Northern Montana Hospital in Havre, weighing in at 3½ pounds. He was the sixth child of William “Bill” and Shirley (Tribby) Fewer. Older siblings were Marie, James, FayeAnn, Paula (who died at birth) and Ronald (who is only 10½ months older). Older sister Marie picked out his name, because she wanted to call him 'Ricky' and to this day no one has ever called him Ricky.

He attended Glasgow Schools, graduating in 1982. He was a Glasgow Scottie wrestler for a couple of years. He then went on to receive his associate degree from Dawson Community College.

Growing up, he traveled with his family to many O-Mok-Sees. He rode bulls for a while which did not work out well for him. He then became interested in team roping. He became a pretty good team roper and won many awards for his heading ability. A timeless cowboy, he was a man of the land. A relic of a bygone era, his heart was vast as the plains he roamed. He was rough around the edges, his hands worn and calloused were a testament to a life spent outdoors. Yet, beneath his weathered exterior lay a heart full of love, a gentle soul with a deep appreciation for life’s simple pleasures.

Family was his anchor. His love for his wife was unwavering a bond forged in the heart of the American West. He was a man who worked hard all day every day. He
