Richard Dowridge passed away on Wednesday, January 21, 2026. Richard was a loving son, brother, and uncle — a father to many in many ways. He was a man of honour and integrity, a charismatic leader who loved his job and brightened every room he entered. Above all, he loved and cherished his family.
He offered steady guidance, practical advice, and everyday kindness, always ready with a warm laugh and a helping hand. He will surely be missed, and we are grateful to God for the time we had with him. He is always and forever in our hearts.
The funeral service will be held on Wednesday, January 28th, 2026, at 1:00 PM at Mt Calvary Holy Church, Cunupia, followed by burial at the Hassarath Public Cemetery.
To the loving family and close friends of Richard Dowridge, first and foremost, I want to say that I am deeply sorry for your loss. From the brief overview that I’ve read from the thoughtful obituary, Richard was surely a light in the loves of those whom he touched. His passing was indeed untimely. Surely no matter the amount of time that we spend with our loved ones is ever enough, even if they live to be 80,90 or even 100. We may comfort ourselves and try to reason that it was enough. This is because we were created with eternity in our hearts but because of the actions of one, we all suffer and die. This is a consolation for those whom Richard touched with his charisma, that it is possible to see him again through the One who created us all, Almighty God. I do hope that the resurrection that is scheduled according to His timing bring all of you comfort to know that Richard will be with us again!
