Richard Warth Obituary

Richard G. Warth
01/07/1945 - 02/17/2025
Dear friends and family, it is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard G. Warth on February 17, 2025, due to complications from Parkinson's Disease. He was preceded in death by his parents, Richard George Warth Sr. and Pearl Palermo Warth.
Richard is survived by his beloved wife of 58 years, Dolores Judy Warth, and their two children, Brett Harper and Eric Warth. He was also the cherished grandfather of Noah, Emma, Joseph, Sofia, Joshua, Nathan, Samuel, and Luca Trapolino. He leaves behind his brother, Guy Michael Warth, and his wife Cecilia; his sister-in-law, Patricia Haun; and his brother-in-law, Michael Haun, along with many nieces and nephews. Richard also held a special place in his heart for his cousin, Frank Alexander, whom he considered a brother.
An avid runner and Harley Davidson enthusiast, Richard will be dearly missed by all who knew him. He is now reunited in Heaven with his parents, loved ones, and close friends of over 50 years, Fred Catalido, Bob Taylor, and Henry Luna. Richard also maintained lifelong friendships with his childhood companions, Pete Dibello, Raymond Keith, and Jimmy King.
Please join us as we celebrate a funeral Mass honoring the life of Richard at 11:00 a.m., on Monday, February 24, 2025, at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, 3600 Brinkman Street in Houston, Texas, with a reception to immediately follow the Mass. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Saint Rose of Lima Food Pantry.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
So Sorry my dear sister and family. Richard will be missed so very much. He did love his motorcycle. Such a great picture with his bike. He loved Judy too very much and her spaghetti and meatballs every Sunday. He also loved to have Mia rub his neck when ever she went over to the house. Lol . In fact everyone got in line to have their neck rubbed. Lol . Rip in peace Richard. No more pain only peace. . Your favorite sister in law Trish
