Richard Brendel Obituary

In loving memory of Richard Brendel of Selbyville, Delaware, born in Baltimore, Maryland, who departed this world on September 9, 2025 at the age of 81. Richard leaves behind a legacy remembered by family and friends. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.

As we bid Richard farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Richard is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He is survived by: his wife Janet; his daughter Jessica Sullivan (Brian); his granddaughters, Clare and Teagan Sullivan; his sister Roseanna Bahlman; his niece Lauren; his nephew David (Chelsea); and his sister-in-law Penny Folden (Jim). He is also survived by many cousins and friends.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggest donations be made to The Salvation Army or The Wounded Warrior Project.
