| About | Robert Alan Richardson passed away unexpectedly at his home in Gardnerville on February 16, 2010. He was 43 years old. Born on February 25, 1966 in Santa Ana, California to Mary and Jack, he moved to Nevada in 1974. He graduated from Douglas High School with honors in 1984. He attended the University of Nevada in Reno and the University of London, England. A man of diverse talents, Rob split his interests between the scholarly and the dramatic. Since high school, his main focus was on the theater: acting in, directing and producing plays and independent films in places like Reno, Carson Valley, Oregon, Washington and Mississippi. To pay the bills, his work ranged from Keno Supervisor here in Nevada to DNA tracking at the University of Washington. To quote the 1984 yearbook, Rob was “proper, dignified and knowledgeable.†He spent much of his time mentoring and guiding his actors, reading voraciously, and dreaming big dreams. A gentle soul, he touched many lives throughout his travels, and will be missed by all of them. Rob is survived by his mother and step-father, Mary and Donald Setsodi, his father and step-mother Jack and Virginia Richardson, his sisters, Robin Grueninger and Kristi Fraser and their families. A Celebration of Life will be held at Lampe Park on May 30, 2010. |
