Richard Ponton Obituary
He was a lover of music, photography, golf, being surrounded by nature, and sharing his love and faith with others.
He touched the hearts of so many people. All Rick ever wanted in life was for people to love one another and enjoy life.
Our family is grateful to know that Rick is now at peace.
A Celebration of Life will be held at the nature center at Southeastway Park Monday November 7th from 4-8pm. A short service will be held at 5pm. All are welcome.
Due to the unexpected death of Richard Ponton, in lieu of flowers, if you would like to donate to the funeral funds please contact Jessica DiCristofolo @ 317-509-1151.

I first met Rick in our 3rd grade class at Grassy Creek and was one of those things that just clicked between us and lasted for 59 years. Way too many stories remembered and I´m sure forgotten. He has many close friends and everyone has loved his friendship. He is true to the core and stead fast in the Lord Jesus Christ! He loves his family dearly and always says how amazed and grateful he is about their growth and accomplishments and love for their families!
I will miss tremendously his humor, our discussions on the gospels, animated gestures, and just conversations in general.
But his salvation makes me happier yet. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith" (2 Timothy 4:7).
