Richard Lawrence Nyberg

Richard Lawrence Nyberg, beloved husband and father, departed this world on July 23, 2018. Richard resided in Fleming Island, FL. He was preceded in death by his wife, Patty in 2015 (married 53 years). Richard is survived by his children, Eric, Marc (wife Alexandra), and Kirk (wife Kindra) Nyberg; his grandchildren Amber, Ashley, Luke Connor, John and Jayla; and his great-grandchildren, Alexandria, Aiden and Ajay.

“Dick”, as he went by, was a 2nd generation Swede born in Superior, Wisconsin on September 23, 1940. His family moved to Orlando, Florida in the 1940’s and he became an avid Florida Gator fan for the remainder of his life. Dick graduated from Edgewater High School in 1958. He served in the United States Navy from 1958-1960. Dick spent a life long career as a mechanical engineer and was working for W.W. Gay Mechanical Contractor when he founded Islands Mechanical Contractor, which he was a co-owner of before retiring. He was loved by all whose lives he touched and was known for his down to earth welcoming personality, generosity and humorous spirit. All who knew him can attest to his kindness.

Richard will be greatly missed by all of his children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, relatives and many friends. His family is comforted by knowing he is now re-united in heaven with his longtime love and wife Patty.

A memorial service will be held at Advent Lutheran Church, 2156 Loch Rane Blvd, Orange Park, FL at 11:00am on Tuesday, July 31st.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Advent Lutheran Church in honor of Richard.

Safe journey Dad and we will see you again one day on the other side. We love you! Who dares, wins.-Originally from and Old Viking tale: “The Saga of Hrafinkel Freysgothi”.
