Richard (Rich) Leon Shriver of Centerton, AR, formerly of Sutherland, IA, passed away peacefully at age 91 on May 14, 2025.

Rich was born March 28, 1934, in Fremont, NE, the youngest son of Milo and Naomi Shriver. The family later moved to Sutherland, IA, where Rich completed his high school education. After graduating high school, he joined the Army and trained as a tank driver stationed in Virginia.

Rich married Charlotte Martin and they resided on a farm east of Sutherland, IA, where they milked cows and raised crops on land that is still in the family to this day. This union was blessed with five boys.

After divorcing Charlotte, he married Patricia (Pat) Moffitt of Jackson, MN. Rich and Pat made their home in Bentonville, AR where Rich became a licensed realtor and broker, owning and operating a Century 21 real estate office, one of the highest performing agencies in Northwest Arkansas. He later started A-1 Realty NWA where he could be found telling stories and lending a helping hand up to his death. Rich's passion included spending time on Lake Loch Lomond on his pontoon, where he often entertained family and friends. He also enjoyed fishing trips to Canada and attending Arkansas Razorback football games.
