Richard Lee Luther

Richard "Rick" Luther peacefully passed away on Thursday, November 11, 2021, at his home and went to be with his LORD and Savior after a courageous battle with cancer.

Rick loved life and will be remembered for his artistic and creative passions in life; his diverse talents, interests and endeavors; his fighting spirit, dry wit and sense of humor. He came to New Mexico from Pittsburgh, PA in 1969 to work as an engineering designer at Sandia National Laboratories. He left the labs to become an entrepreneur and business owner, starting with designing and making fine jewelry. Among his many interests and hobbies were goldsmithing, photography, inventor, computer expert, machinist, builder and landscaper of his home and jack of all trades, master of many.

Rick is survived by his wife, Meg Luther; his brother, Charles Lutheran and wife, Sharon; sister, Joy Arnold and husband, Dennis; nephew, John Lutheran, who was like a son to him; and many other nieces and nephews who were special to him. He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Lena Lutheran; and brother, John Lutheran.
