Richard Allen "Dickie" Oiler, 66, of Massillon, passed away after a long, hard-fought battle with multiple sclerosis on January 23, 2025. He was born in Cambridge, OH on October 25, 1958 to the late Richard B. Oiler and Mary L. {Hartley} Oiler Amos.
In addition to his parents, Dickie was preceded in death by his step-father Dale Amos and beloved dog Kujo.
