Richard Hutchens Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born on April 1, 1957, Richard was a proud graduate of North High School. Known for his quick wit and infectious humor, Rich had a remarkable ability to brighten any room and could always be counted on for a good joke.
He is survived by his brother Tracy Hutchens and sister-in-law Becky Hutchens; his nephew Mike Hutchens; niece Jessica Shanahan; goddaughter Diah Knapp; and many cherished friends.
Richard now joins his beloved parents, Irene and Harley Hutchens, in eternal rest.
His memory will live on in the laughter he inspired and the love he shared with those fortunate enough to know him.
