Richard Melton Obituary

With solemn reverence, we commemorate Richard Melton (Rochelle, Illinois), whose life came to an end on February 21, 2026 at the age of 85, leaving behind cherished memories. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Richard Melton to show support.

Though Richard may no longer walk beside us, his memory will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those Richard touched, a beacon of light guiding us through the darkness. In his absence, his spirit lives on — a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Howard Melton and Melba Melton (Lamar). He is survived by: his sons, Brett Melton of Rochelle and Ross Melton of Rochelle; and his grandchild Nikki Melton Schaible (John).

Memorials may be made to the Rochelle Wildlife Conservation Club in his honor.
