So he died with an attendant of some kind -- who knew him as Armando Rodriguez.

No picture? Even a post-mortem? Old driver's license? Pic from one of the multiple IDs?

Old genealogist here. We do NOT sleuth family members, but surname information is often linked to geography.

Per FindAGrave, user-submitted site, not a government record, has 13 pages of Reddekop decedents. Most are in western Canada.

Some are interred in the Banman Family Cemetery:

Banman Family Cemetery in Blumenhof, Saskatchewan - Find a Grave Cemetery

First name David produces internments in Canada, Idaho, and Oregon. One caught my eye -- a child David born 1985, deceased 1989. Did this decedent co-opt/assume David's identity?

Schoenweise Old Colony Cemetery in Gruenthal, Saskatchewan - Find a Grave Cemetery

Cemetery is unkempt with many unmarked graves. Only a few have grave markers. Located in the RM of Rosthern #403, land location: NE 19-40-4 W3. 3.5 miles...

www.findagrave.com

Both cemeterys are small, location suggests the families of the child moved on? Likely heading West?

Seem to be German surnames, the surname Reddekop/p may actually be due to an ancestor with red hair!

Dyck (likely also spelled Dyche/Dychof) is also found in Canada.

Now to be honest, I know quite a bit about genealogy, but very little about Saskatchewan. And, for better or worse, most of that was gleaned from Corner Gas.

@GuyfromCanada @CanadaRachel @CanadianGen @Canadianmom2three @CanadianSleuther for possible Saskatchewan input.

@Okieannie55 @okieluv @OkMcCartney for Oklahoma input.

Without an image this decedent....
