Join us in remembering and celebrating the life of Richard Deyo — a beloved Ames local known for his bright colorful messages and unwavering kindness. Richard made a difference in the lives of so many simply by showing up, sharing love, and reminding others to "Have the Best Day Ever!"

In honor of Richard’s legacy, May 16th, his birthday, will now be celebrated annually as Richard Deyo Day—a day to live in peace, love others generously, and walk through the world just as Richard did: with intention, heart, and joy.
Fittingly, May 16th is also the International Day of Living in Peace.
We think that’s no coincidence—it’s perfect.

Shirts ordered can be picked up at the event at NAMI on May 16th, 424 5th Street, Ames, IA 50010
