Aster-Obit: Dick Cheney
On the evening of 3 November 2025, former US Vice President Richard “Dick” Cheney passed away at his home in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, of complications related to pneumonia and vascular disease. He was attended by Lynne, his wife of 61 years, their daughters Mary and Liz, and other family members.
Cheney’s career in politics spanned decades, from his early work in the late 1960s as an aide to Donald Rumsfeld, later Defense Secretary, to his stint as Chief-of-Staff for President Gerald Ford; U.S Representative for Wyoming; Defense Secretary for President George H. W. Bush; and Vice President for his son, George W. Bush. He made a brief foray into the private sector as CEO of Halliburton, a Fortune 500 company, during the Clinton administration.
