The passing of Dick Decker today has saddened our little world. He touched so many in so many ways in our sport - and he was a true friend. Here's a link to a story we did a couple of years ago, recapping his incredible snowmobiling life journey.

We were saddened to learn of the Legend, Richard Decker’s passing today on April 4, 2024. The World Championship Derby Complex extends our deepest condolences to the entire Decker family. Richard loved snowmobiling and "The Derby Track".

Dick was a very close friend. He appointed me Track Chaplain in October 2013. Many good times were shared. He always wanted me to go to Iceland with him. Hall off Fame member. He lived for snowmobiling and raced at the track at 91 years old. I, along with the snowmobile world, will greatly miss him. RIP my friend.

This was Dick racing in 2023. 91 years old and wearing my favorite jacket, the 50th Anniversary Jacket of the races in '13.

Still racing at 91 is nothing short of amazing. By every measure, he was a legend in the sport of sled racing. Rest in Peace.
