Richard Casper Merrill

February 10, 1930 — March 2, 2018

Richard Casper Merrill passed away in Logan, Utah at the age of 88. He died peacefully surrounded by his loving family and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.

Richard and his twin brother Ronald were born in Preston, Idaho to Casper and Anna Merrill. He was raised in Richmond with his brothers on a Dairy Farm and was taught the value of hard work at a young age as the family built a successful ice cream business. The family moved to Logan in 1946 where Richard graduated from Logan High in 1949. After graduating he served a full-time mission in New York.

Richard met and married the love of his life Jolene Eliason. Together they raised their family in Logan where he operated Casper’s Ice Cream Company. His passion was ice cream and he would often say that eating two Casco’s is always better than one. Richard was known as the inventor of the Fudgie later renamed Creamies. He had a big heart and was always a good friend and neighbor, contributing often to his community.

As a faithful member of the LDS Church, Richard fulfilled various callings and served in many capacities. For many years, one of his greatest joys was serving as an officiator in the Logan Temple.

He is survived by his wife Jolene Eliason Merrill; brothers Derwin (Luana), George (Pat); children Kendal (Cathy), Cynde, Kaylene (Mike), Mardee, Sherwin (Tiffany); and by 15 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents Casper and Anna Merrill; twin brother Ronald; infant son Kelly; infant grandson Landon.
