Richard Lineham Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Dec. 27 to Dec. 29, 2023.
Richard L. Lineham, 74, lifetime resident of Vancouver, WA passed away on December 21, 2023. He will be dearly missed by his wife of 42 years, Rosie, his daughter Rebecca, and his granddaughter Audrey, along with siblings Becky and Tom Lineham. He is preceded in death by his mother Grace, father James Lineham. and younger brother Jimmy Lineham.

Rich will be remembered for his kindness, his wit and his friendliness. He treasured the memories he'd made with his friends growing up in Vancouver. He loved the outdoors, rock n roll, and fast cars. He could fix anything and seemed to be good at everything - a true jack of all trades. He had a generous spirit and believed the purpose of life was to have fun and to help each other.

Rich showed much courage in his final days - and said he was happy and grateful to have lived a good life. The Lineham family would like to extend special thanks to the Ray Hickey House and to everyone else who has shown support at this time. The family will release his ashes into his beloved Columbia River at a later date.
