Richard Heier Obituary

On October 4, 2025, Richard C. Heier (Rick) passed away. He was the beloved husband of Karen Heier (nee German); devoted father of Christopher Heier, his wife, Bristol; Kelly Dasinger, her husband, Matthew; and Kendyll Heier; loving grandfather of Halsey Heier and Blaine Heier; and loved by other relatives and friends. He was 71 years old.

Rick was a beloved teacher and coach at Fallston High School for 35 years. His quotable remarks, his compassion for others, and his knack for telling stories made a lasting impact on everyone he met. He truly cared about his family, friends, and students and was always there to provide support and encouragement. His passions included sports, photography, and traveling, among others.
