Ricardo Mojado Concepcion
July 8, 1928 ~ April 19, 2026
Ricardo "Ric" Mojado Concepcion was born on July 8, 1928, in Nagcarlan, Laguna, Philippines and peacefully departed this life at a young age of 97 years on April 19, 2026, in Taylorsville. Ric is now reunited with the love of his life, Lydia Simbulan Concepcion, whom he married on December 31, 1961.
Ric was truly young at heart and always found the joy in life. He touched many people with his kindness, radiant smile, infectious laughter and unintentional comedic antics. He was quite the jokester and a playful rascal and deservedly received a nickname from his wife – "Ricardo Kunsumisyon," which translates to vexation or exasperation.Ric received his Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from MLQ University in Quezon City, Philippines in 1959. He later pursued certifications in business and programming in the Philippines and from the University of Utah. Ric had a career as an entrepreneur following his interests wherever they took him. 
Eventually he transitioned to his form of "retirement" where he vigorously pursued cooking, gardening and home improvement in addition to his other passions of golf, fishing, tennis, road trips, world travel, videography, home theater design, ballroom dancing, painting and later learning pickleball at 91. He did them all with gusto. His passions allowed him to spend time with Lydia, his daughter Liza and son-in-law Roger, and his dear, dear friends, some of whom were his “partners in crime.”
Ric enjoyed many road trips with family and travelled both domestically and internationally with friends. He was also never too busy to help family and friends. Although he lived life in perpetual motion (except for his daily scheduled “10-minute" nap), he always paused to appreciate the awe in nature. Ric will be remembered for his positive outlook on life, the lives touched by his camaraderie and beaming smile, and the millions of laughs shared with family and dear friends. He lived life like it should be.
Our heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the compassionate staff at Meadow Peak, Independence Hospice, and Active Hospice. 
A celebration of Ric’s wonderful life will be held on Friday, May 29 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Starks Funeral Parlor, 3651 South 900 East, Millcreek. Expect lots of photos, a slideshow highlighting his life, appetizers, dessert and mango mimosas.
