Keith David Richard's Obituary
“Do Good to Others and Every Man Can be a Superman”
Keith David Richard, born June 23, 1965, passed away peacefully on December 8, 2024, in Columbus, OH. A beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend, he will be dearly missed by many. He is survived by his mother, Lois Richard, sisters Janette Kelly (Thomas) and Karen Richard, brother Neil Richard (Valorie Miille), nephew Jacob Richard, and nieces Emily Kelly, Abigail Richard, and Caroline Kelly. He will also be remembered by many friends from Wilson Hill Elementary School. Keith was preceded in death by his father, Rodney Bruce Richard.
A passionate comic book lover, avid reader, and movie and TV show buff, Keith wanted to share a list of movies that are “a little less well known” he felt everyone should watch. He assumed we all know about Sound of Music, Godzilla, the James Bond movies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the Star Wars franchise.

Keith wanted to pass along this piece of advice: “If you’re having an issue with your health, talk to your doctor right away. Don’t put it off for a week thinking it will go away on its own, even if it’s kind of embarrassing to talk about… more people care about you than you know”.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or volunteering with Luminary Hospice of Ohio.
