SEYMOUR

Richard Allen “Ric” Temple, 64, of Seymour passed away on January 17, 2024, at Norton Hospital in Louisville, KY. Ric was born on April 20, 1959, in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to Lawrence and Virginia Rose (Collene) Temple. Ric was a graduate of Clarksville High School and was a longtime barber and real estate broker in the Seymour area. He was active in politics for Seymour, he ran as a City Council candidate and served as a state delegate for the Indiana Republican Party. If you ever met Ric, you would know him to be a great storyteller. Outside of work and politics, Ric loved the outdoors, and his favorite outdoor activities included: kayaking, fishing, mushroom hunting and arrowhead hunting. At one time, Ric had even purchased property just to protect his secret mushroom hunting spot.

Ric is survived by his three children: Austin Temple, Ian Temple, and Kaitlin Temple; sister, Dawn (Charlie) Temple-Mills; mother of his children: Heidi Collier. Ric was preceded in death by his father, mother, stepmother, Rennah (Callis) Temple, brother, Lawrence “Tinker” Temple III, and stepsister Barbara “Barb” (Regan) Gardner.
