Richard was born on January 6, 1950, in St. Cloud to Raymond and Virginia (Peschl) Brand. He married Wendy Jarboe on September 6, 1980, in St. Cloud. Dick worked as a dairy farmer for all of his life, retiring in 2000. Following his farming career, he worked for Coborn’s in the maintenance department for 14 years. He was devoted, hardworking, and loved Oliver Tractors. Dick was a member of Annunciation Catholic Church in Mayhew Lake and he participated in the Knights of Columbus Bishop Marty Council 3603 of Foley. He enjoyed playing cards, dice, and other games. Dick was strong, caring, and easygoing, but could certainly be described as a man of few words unless the topic of conversation was farming. Spending time with his family was important to him, especially when it came to his grandchildren.

Survivors include his wife, Wendy of Sauk Rapids; children, Theresa (Brad) Stebleton of Minot, ND, Tim (Rita Vorachit) of Waite Park, and Kevin (Amy Kolden) of Sauk Rapids; grandchildren, Camron and Kira Vorachit, Alanah, Kylee and Kaia Brand and Rayce Stebleton; great-grandson, Rayvon Vorachit and siblings, Dennis (Sandy) of Sauk Rapids, Ronald (Diane) of Sauk Rapids, Bonnie (Tom) Oothoudt of Kansas City, MO and Tom (Barb) of Rice. He was preceded in death by his parents.
