Danny Richmond Obituary

Danny M. Richmond
Danny M. Richmond, 76, of Higganum, husband of the late Martha Richmond, passed away on Thursday, September 25, 2025, at Middlesex Hospital. He was born in Beckley, WV, son of the late Josephine and Ira Richmond. Danny was a veteran of the Vietnam War, serving with the U.S. Navy. Prior to his retirement, he was employed with the CT State Police, working for Whiting Forensic Institute and Norwich State Hospital. Upon retirement from the state of Connecticut, Danny went on to work for Russell Library as director of Security and Maintenance. He loved his work for the community and forged special, long-lasting friendships with the young patrons of the library.
Danny is survived by his daughter, Amy Richmond of Haddam, son, Michael Richmond of Higganum, grandson, Caleb Prchal, sister, Vicky and her husband, Marv Houghton, daughter-in-law, Susan Richmond, granddaughter, Aubree Richmond, granddaughter, Morgan Richmond, and his loving companion, Mary Anne Prchal of Killingworth. He was predeceased by his parents, wife, Martha, son, Kevin, and son-in-law, Robb Prchal.
To know Danny was to love him. His kind eyes and genuine smile were so true and welcoming.
Danny loved his "critters", nurturing injured and abandoned animals of all kinds back to health and keeping his birdfeeders filled faithfully. His backyard was a place of peace adorned with beautiful koi ponds that he created.
Danny took great pride in his West Virginia roots and loved to visit whenever he could. He couldn't wait to share the history and beauty of his home state with his loved ones.
His humor and laughter will be truly missed by all who were lucky enough to know him.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, October 2nd, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Biega Funeral Home, 3 Silver St., Middletown. Burial with military honors will follow at the State Veterans' Cemetery, Bow Lane, Middletown. To share memories or express condolences online, please visit www.biegafuneralhome.com .
