Richard Raznick
Longtime Denver resident Richard “Rick” Raznick died on May 1, 2026. A service was held on May 3 at Rose Hill Cemetery, officiated by Rabbi Yaakov Meyer. Feldman Mortuary made the arrangements.
Born in 1956 in Omaha, Neb., Mr. Raznick’s family moved to Denver in 1963. He grew up in Winston Downs and attended Fallis Elementary and Hill Jr. High School. For two years he attended George Washington High School, and he spent his final two years of high school at Cherry Creek High School.
After attending a junior college in Sterling, Mr. Raznick returned to Denver and worked as a security guard. He was then employed in the family’s trucking company, and also worked for the TSA.
“Rick was very kind and generous,” his sister, Pam Goodman, said. “He was extremely close to our mom (the late Tillie Raznick) and continuously made sure that she was doing well when he, himself, wasn’t.
“When money was tight, he would still make sure to give Chanukah and birthday gifts to his nieces and nephew.”
Survivors are sister Pam (Curtis) Goodman; and nieces and nephew Allyson (Anthony) Naes, Aric (Brook) Goodman, Renee Goodman and Madison Goodman. Mr. Raznick was predeceased by his wife, Judith Raznick and sister Carol Raznick.
