Richard James Kellogg

Richard James Kellogg, 63, passed away on March 1, 2026. He was born on February 17, 1963, in Mount Holly, New Jersey.

Rick was known for his steady nature, strong work ethic, and quiet dedication to the people in his life. He worked for several years at Harps Grocery, where coworkers and customers came to know him for his reliability and determination.

Rick had a creative eye and enjoyed interior decorating, taking pride in making a home feel welcoming and comfortable. He also had a lifelong love of cars and never missed a day tending to his FarmVille game. Above all else, Rick was a deeply spiritual man whose quiet faith and perseverance guided him throughout life.

Rick shared 31 years of life with his husband, Mac. Their partnership spanned more than half of Rick's life and more than half of Mac's - a bond built through decades of loyalty, resilience, and everyday moments that make a life together meaningful.

He is survived by his husband, Mac; his sister, Crystal McDonald and her wife Natalie; his brother, David Kellogg and his wife Shelly; and many nieces and nephews.

Rick was preceded in death by his mother, Florence McDonald; his father, Delmas "Mac" McDonald; his brother, Kenny; and his sister, Michele.

A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, March 8, 2026, at 2:00 PM at the American Legion in Dixon, Missouri.

Guests are encouraged to come as they are - casual clothing is welcome. No suits or fancy dresses are needed. Be yourself, just as Rick was every day.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages everyone to share a memory of Rick - whether by speaking about your time with him or writing it and sending it to the family.

Rick will be remembered for his quiet strength, his steady presence, and the way he lived his life simply by being himself.
