Dean H. Rishel Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Dean H. Rishel (Blue Bell, Pennsylvania), whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on December 6, 2025 at the age of 79. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Dean 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 Dean 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 daughters, Emily Gibson of Medford, NJ and Lillian McVey (Brian) of Medford, NJ; and his grandchildren, Isaac, Simon and Avery.
