Richard Mello Obituary
Mike was born October 24, 1954 in Sacramento to Richard Sr. and Gweneth Mello. Mike was the first of five, paving the way for his three younger brothers and one sister.
Mike enjoyed music, puzzles and games. Mike was 69 years old, but the child in him emerged every time he was able to play with his great nieces and nephews as he proclaimed to be the "Favorite Uncle". But most of all, he loved to share and even boast, about his son, Mike. His face lit up each time "Mikey" would call. Mike would announce "It's my son!" as he answered the phone.
Mike is preceded in death by his parents, brothers Anthony (Tony) and Neal. He is survived by his son Richard III (Yejin), brother, Aaron, and sister, Dana; nieces Apryl (Greg), Danielle (Nickolas), Destiny, Monae (Chris), Briana (Bryan) Samantha and Jennifer (Mark); nephews Nicholas (Paige), Alex, AJ, great-nieces Ava, Riley, Savannah, Evelyn, Harlie, Bailey, Gwen and Riley Quinn; Great-nephews Josiah, Grayson, Bryan, James, and Nash, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and fabulous friends. No services are planned at this time.
