Richard A. Thornton Obituary

We are sad to announce that, on September 18, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Richard A. Thornton of Collinsville, Illinois. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Richard A. Thornton to show support.

In the hush of twilight, as the stars twinkle in silent homage, we reflect on the legacy Richard leaves behind and his impact on the lives of his loved ones. Though Richard may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the memories held dear by his family and friends, a guiding light that illuminates their paths in times of darkness.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Malcolm Sr. Thornton and Gertrude Thornton; his wife Saundra Jean Thornton; and his siblings, Malcolm Thornton Jr. and Betty Voger.

He is survived by: his son Michael Thornton of Collinsville, IL; and his stepchildren, Jennie Shadin of Omaha, NE and Don Rowe of Omaha, NE..
