Richard Agee Obituary

Richard "Dick" Agee born November 10, 1935 went to join his beloved wife Daphne, their first born son Ritchie, and the Lord on April 12, 2017.

Richard was born in Detroit, Michigan and came to the Springs area in 1958 and married Daphne in 1960. He served in the US Army and Airforce spending a total of 6 ½ years on active duty. After working in multiple industries, his sheer determination got him a chance to work in the electrical business where he later retired as a Project Manager.

He is survived by three sons: Dirk Agee, Damon Agee, and Devon Agee of Colorado Springs, two daughters: Danielle Byers of Tennessee, and Dawn Alvarado of Florida, three step-daughters: Dianne Bumgardner and Dennise Wolfe of California, and Dana Gartrell of Utah, 20 grandchildren, and 9 great-grandchildren.

Richard was preceded in death by his lovely wife Daphne Dean (Fisher) Agee, their son Richard C. Agee II, his mother Gussie and father Ira Agee, brother Bruce Agee, and sisters Rose Jean Swisher and Martha B. Agee.

A graveside service will be held at Evergreen Cemetery at 10 am on Thursday, April 20, 2017.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Pike's Peak Hospice in memory of Mr. and Mrs. Richard C. Agee.

Daddy, Gr'pa Agee~
You sure were one of a kind. Mom truly picked a gem.
Thank you for loving me. For showing me that being firm with limitations only sealed your love for me. That being strict was a sign of strength (especially curfew!) ☺ Thank you for teaching respect and integrity- through rules. Not to be taken lightly.
You are going to be missed by all of us, especially Luke. How he loves You and Mom!
Now you both are free~ to dance, sing and make your own music! Sending hugs and kisses through the clouds all the way up to your Heavenly Home.
I love you. We love you. Until we meet again~❤
