With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of Richard Allen Ellis (Hixson, Tennessee), born in New Philadelphia, Ohio, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on February 27, 2026 at the age of 78. 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.
