Richard Mountford Ely Obituary

With profound sadness, we say goodbye to Richard Mountford Ely (Pacific Grove, California), whose vibrant spirit touched the lives of many. Richard left this world on February 27, 2026 at the age of 82, leaving a void in the lives of so many people. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.

As we bid farewell to this luminous soul, let his loved ones carry forward the torch of his memory, illuminating the path ahead with the warmth of his love and the brilliance of his spirit. Though Richard may journey beyond the horizon of our sight, his essence remains woven into the very fabric of our being — a guiding light in the darkness, a beacon of hope in the night.

He is survived by: his wife Barbara; his children, Michael and Cara; his grandson Maxwell; and his brothers, William and Robert.

In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to Peace of Mind Dog Rescue in Pacific Grove, California.
