Today, with heavy hearts, we share the obituary of our dear friend, colleague, and fellow funeral director, Richard “Dick” Gagnon, Jr.
Over the past three years, we were blessed to work alongside Dick and develop a bond and friendship that truly felt like family. His kindness, compassion, and dedication touched countless families throughout Columbia County and Southern Rensselaer County during a remarkable career spanning more than 40 years.
Dick served his community with dignity, empathy, and an unwavering commitment to helping families through some of life's most difficult moments.
Dick will also be remembered for his incredible sense of humor. He had a way of making everyone smile, lightening even the toughest days, and bringing laughter to those around him. His friendship, wisdom, and caring nature will be deeply missed.
We are heartbroken by this loss and grateful for the time we were able to spend with him.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his beloved wife, Cheryl, and his daughters, Regina and Celia, and his extended family during this difficult time. May they find comfort in the love of family, friends, colleagues, and the many people whose lives Dick touched throughout his lifetime of service.
Rest in peace, Dick. Your legacy of compassion, friendship, and service will never be forgotten. ❤️
