Mr. Richard “Dick” Eugene Sarver, 90, of Lake Wylie, SC, passed away peacefully at home on Saturday, August 2, 2025, surrounded by his loving family.

A memorial Mass will be held at 12:00 noon Saturday, September 6th at All Saints Catholic Church, 530 Highway 274, Lake Wylie, SC, with Father Charles Tupta officiating.  The family will receive friends from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. before the service. 

Born September 5, 1934, in Morgantown, WV, to the late Paul Richard Sarver and Georgia Orlick.  Mr. Sarver’s life was a remarkable journey from humble beginnings in the hills of West Virginia to national service and technological leadership. A proud U.S. Army Veteran, Mr. Sarver went on to serve his country for decades in a civilian capacity as the Director of Computer Operations for the U.S. Navy. He led some of the Navy’s first-of-their-kind computer systems implementations, advancing the field of military computing and playing a pivotal role in the technological modernization of Navy operations in Washington, D.C.

While his professional legacy continues to impact generations, his most enduring devotion was to his beloved wife of 67 years, Mary Minerva Sarver. Their partnership was the foundation of a close-knit and loving family that reflects the values he held dear - faith, service, integrity, and perseverance.

Mr. Sarver is survived by his wife, Minerva; daughter, Leah S. Clewley (Don); sons, Devin Sarver (Brenda), Lewis Sarver (Laurena), and Bryan Sarver (Heather); cousin, Ron McGinley; Luane Beresford; Rose Ann Swiegert; twelve grandchildren; and six great-grandchildren.

He will be remembered as a man of visionary intellect, quiet strength, and steadfast love—for his family, his country, and his faith.
