Richard Carroll McQuiston

A proud Navy veteran, Richard served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, earning three medals in recognition of his service. He was a lifelong tinkerer with an endless curiosity, always fixing, modifying, or exploring how things worked. An avid outdoorsman and Missouri Master Angler, he found joy in fishing, stargazing, and simply being in nature. Richard also had a green thumb and loved growing plants, filling his space with vibrant life. He was a passionate music lover with a vast vinyl collection that reflected his deep appreciation for sound and storytelling.

He was preceded in death by his parents Robert and Estella McQuiston and brother Don McQuiston. He is survived by his children, Derin McQuiston (Brittany Ivy), Eric McQuiston, and Fallon McQuiston; his sister, Janice McQuiston; and his brother, Randy McQuiston.

At Richard's request, no services are scheduled at this time. He has been cremated under the care of Rupp Funeral Home. Online condolences may be shared at www.ruppfuneral.com.
