Richard Allen McQuillan, 76, passed away on August 26, 2025, in Evington, VA. Born on May 20, 1949, Richard was known for his strong and caring nature. He served honorably in the Navy, bringing dedication and strength to his service, which was deeply valued by his fellow sailors.

Richard was an active member of the Pleasant View Baptist Church, where he found great solace and community. His commitment to the church was evident, as he was not only a regular attendee but also supported it through various initiatives.
