It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Richard Thomas Cronin Jr, a beloved partner, father, brother and friend, on March 26, 2024 at the age of 65. Rick lost his courageous battle with cancer and Parkinsons, but his spirit lives on in the hearts of those who loved him.

Rick is survived by his loving partner, Lynn Ryckman, and his two children, Collin Cronin (Alex) and Mary Kathleen Cronin. In addition to his immediate family, Rick is survived by his mother, Kathleen Cronin (Richard Thomas Cronin, deceased); sister Sue Robotnik (Jerry); brother Tim Cronin (Debbie); sister Sarah Michelle Cronin; brother Chris Cronin (Michele); brother Patrick Cronin (Monique) and extended family. He will be deeply missed by all those who had the privilege of knowing him.

A memorial Mass to celebrate Rick's life will be held at 10 AM on Friday, April 26 at St Anastasia Church in Troy, Michigan. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Hospice House of Shiawassee County.
