On July 26th, 2024, Richard Eugene Kurkjian passed away peacefully, with family by his side, at the age of 87. Rich, a beacon of unwavering friendship and kindness, has left a mark on the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him. 
Left to carry on his memory are many loved ones including his brother Robert, sister MaryJane, 18 grandchildren & numerous great-grandchildren. 
Rich was preceded in death by his parents; sister Ruth; and wife Beatrice “Bea”. 
We invite all who cherished Richard to join us in a Celebration of Life at Sylvester Community Church on August 9th, 2024, at 11am where we will share stories, laughter, tears, and food, just as Rich would have wished. 
Cremation will take place with a service to follow at a later date.
