Robert R. "Dick" Kedy, age 68, passed away peacefully at his lake home on November 11, 2019. Dick was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on April 26, 1951 and considered himself a lifetime OKIE, although he worked in Amarillo, Texas for one year and in St. Louis, Missouri for five years. He graduated from Putnam City High school, attended Oklahoma State University while he worked as a computer programmer, and graduated from Canon School of Trust Banking in Charlotte, North Carolina. He worked with computers for nine years with Liberty National Bank before moving to First National Bank of Oklahoma City, which eventually became Bank of America. Dick gave Bank of America twenty years of service, and after a year of vacation at his lake home, joined Bank of Oklahoma as a trust administrator where he worked for sixteen years.
Dick had a number of interests, but one of his favorite pastimes was riding motorcycles and spending time with his friends and acquaintances who shared the same interests. He served as the President of the OKC Freedom Riders Motorcycle Club for several years and had a great respect for all members of the club. When he was not riding, he loved spending time at the lake with friends and relatives and truly enjoyed working with his hands. He loved projects that involved fixing anything mechanical that was broken or building something from scratch.
Dick was preceded in death by his father, Charles A. Kedy, a local lending officer in town; and his mother, Betty D. Kedy. He is survived by his daughter, Melissa Lynch, her husband Jesse, and their three sons, Bradon, Seth, and Connell; his daughter, Tina Kedy, her son, Lathan and her daughter, Lexi; and his son, Cameron Kedy. He is also survived by his sister, Janet Marchbanks, her husband Gary, her son, Bobbie and daughter, Laurie, and their children.
Dick was a gentle man who was loved by his family and friends and respected by his co-workers and customers. His smile and wit will be missed by many that were not ready for it to be extinguished so early in life.
Visitation will be 5:30-7:30pm on Friday, November 15, and services will be at 10:00am on Saturday, November 16, both at Mercer-Adams Funeral Service.
Memorials may be made to the OKC Freedom Riders M/C, a 501(c)3 organization which will make donations to some of his favorite charities in his name.
