Richard Keith Jenkins, 88, of Westminster, passed away November 15, 2021. He was born January 26, 1933 in Pocatello, Idaho, the son of Minnie Hansen.

Richard never met a stranger and was always happy and laughing. A man of God, Richard taught his family about Jesus. His greatest pride and joy were his grandchildren.

We will miss our #1 Cheerleader!
