Richard's Obituary

RURAL RETREAT, VA

Richard, a diligent individual, dedicated more than five decades to managing his own construction enterprise, MAP Construction. Throughout this extensive period, he tirelessly erected numerous houses across the Maryland region, showcasing his creativity and a keen appreciation for the intrinsic value in everything. In addition to his construction pursuits, Richard cultivated a passion for collecting, amassing an assortment of guns and vintage cars. Beyond his professional and collecting endeavors, he found enjoyment in attending auto auctions, purchasing vehicles to refurbish and sell. Richard cherished moments spent with his family, relishing the company, and indulging in his love for westerns. Above all, he remained unwaveringly committed to fulfilling his roles as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. 

He is survived by his loving wife of 45 years Angelina Elizamay Pakacki; four children Donald Pakacki, Sr. & wife Misty, Joseph Michael Pakacki, Richard Pakacki, Sr. & wife Kimberly, and Adabella Pakacki; two sisters Catherine Ridgely and Ada “Cookie” Buckheight; grandchildren D.J., Cheyenne, Cassidy, Megan(Gregory), Michael(Jennifer), Richard(Audrey), Elina(Nathan), & Damion; great grandchildren Elijah, Brooklynn, Nova, Jaymynn, Paislee, Annzleigh, Brayson, Shelby, Emma, Seth, and one on the way; along with several nieces, nephews, and a special cousin Charles.
