Richard Holt Flint's Obituary
Richard Holt Flint, a cherished member of the Farr West community, passed away in the early morning of August 28, 2024, after a long battle with medical issues. Born on July 25, 1948, in Ogden, Utah, Richard was the son of Glen W. Flint and Lois Holt Flint. Raised on the family farm in West Point, Utah, Richard developed a deep love for farming, which remained a central part of his life.

Richard’s passions included farming alongside his father, serving in his church callings, and attending the temple. He loved hunting trips with family, raising horses, traveling, watching old western movies, and attending rodeos. A devoted fan of BYU and the Utah Jazz, Richard also had a knack for sales and relished conversing with people.
