Richard Reynolds Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on May 28, 2025.
Richard Thomas Reynolds, 79, entered the Kingdom of Heaven peacefully surrounded by his loving family on May 27, 2025. A faithful servant of Jesus Christ, loving husband, warm hearted father, and faithful friend, Rick will be remembered for his storytelling, calming wisdom, and unwavering dedication to his loved ones.

Born on January 15, 1946, in Akron, Ohio, Rick moved to Stow, Ohio at an early age, and was a proud graduate of Stow-Munroe Falls High School. Shortly after graduating from high school, he met his best friend and love of his life, Pam Bubee. Rick and Pam were devoted to one another in marriage for over 57 years, and were blessed with three children, five grandchildren and three great grandchildren.



After working for over 20 years as a tool and die machinist, Rick pursued his dream of owning and operating a bakery. Rick and Pam together with the help of their children, successfully operated Stahl's Bakery in Kent for 15 years.

A lifelong learner and a bona fide "car guy", Rick had an infectious passion for developing new skills, pursuing new hobbies, perfecting recipes and could tinker and fix pretty much anything. Rick enjoyed attending car shows, cruise ins, yearly trips to Frankenmuth Michigan to attend Oktoberfest and sitting on his front porch appreciating nature.

Rick was a loving husband, an amazing and playful Dad and Papa and was absolutely adored by his children and grandchildren.

Rick is survived by his beloved wife and soulmate, Pam Reynolds; 3 children; Wendy (Don) Thames, Rick (Vyktorya) Reynolds, Mary (Brad) Lyell; 5 grandchildren; David Reynolds, Kyle (Alissa) Thames, Danielle (Dakota) Cope, Lucy Reynolds, Kalliope Lyell and 3 great grandchildren; Donald, Ben and Michael John.

A memorial service to remember the amazing life of Rick and the resurrection promise of Jesus will be held on Friday, June 6th at 11:00am at Redeemer Lutheran Church where Rick was an active and long-time member.

Dear Pam and family,
Bernie and I always enjoyed seeing you and Rick at the Tiretown functions. Your bakery was awesome. Bernie would always seek Rick out at Bellacino's Thursday night car shows. My sincere sympathy to you and your family. Hold your memories close. Love, Pat

Pam, this is Jim Mosel. So sorry to hear about Rick! A dedicated father and church member for sure! It's been sometime since we have had any contact w/each other. I'am sure you know all the "capers" Rick and I got into growing us as young boys. I still LOL remembering these. Individually both of us would NEVER do what we did together. However, together we were dangerous! Some examples: the Camp Lutherhaven "caper", the Clear Lake yard light that somehow got hit by a rock!
Also Rick's 1957 Chevy! Corvette engine! I remember ALL of these. Attached is a picture Joan took of us in front of Crackerbarrell (sp.?) in 2015. Memories will never die! Jim/Joan Mosel

It has been many years but I remember Rick my first cousin hanging around with my brother, Jim Mosel, when we visited Akron. With Rick's sister Karen, the 4 of us cousins, had a grand time during the 50's and 60's. Fondly recall Rick's laughter and kindness to me as a younger cousin.
