Chris Richmeier Obituary

Chris D. Richmeier

Chris D. Richmeier, age 62, died on March 14, 2025, at the Franciscan Care Center. Born to Vernon and Marlene (Streeter) Richmeier in Wichita, Kansas, he grew up in Kansas until the family moved to Texas, where he lived for many years of his life.

While living in Texas he worked as a grocery store manager, and later as a manager at a GE warehouse for over 20 years. Chris was a hard-working man who loved to provide for his family. He met Christine and married in 1986, having two amazing children together. He was a family man like no other, always making his kid's activities a priority. They loved to camp in their RV and travel to different places, making great memories.

Chris loved the Dallas Cowboys, the Harlem Globetrotters, going to the Detroit Auto Show, taking his kids to Disney World, and caring for others. He moved to Ohio in 2004 to work with his family at a boys group home and was a great asset to troubled youth. Between his sense of humor and dependability, he was someone you could count on.

Left to cherish his memory are his children, Carleigh Richmeier-Torres, Chaz Richmeier; mother, Marlene Richmeier; siblings, Gayla (Martin) Vieta, Vernon (Anita) Richmeier, Kyle Richmeier, and Sam (DaMeisha) Richmeier; and the mother of his children, Christine Richmeier; many nieces and nephews; and also Fawn Richmeier and Laura Richmeier.

Chris was preceded by his father, Vernon Richmeier Sr.; and nephew, Wyatt Richmeier.

A visitation will be held at Walker Funeral Home, 5155 W. Sylvania Ave., on Friday, March 21, 2025, from 12 p.m. – 1 p.m., with a funeral service beginning at 1 p.m. Interment to follow at Toledo Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, a gift to his children can be made in memory of Chris.
