Mr. Richard Stump, 75, of Lebanon, passed away Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at his home. He was born June 20, 1951, in Indianapolis, a son of the late Omer Willis and Charlotte Marie (Powell) Stump. On April 3, 2008, Richard married Lori Quesnel, and she survives.

Richard worked as a clerk at Kroger for many years. He found great joy in the outdoors and especially enjoyed hiking and taking long walks. A devoted fan of The Andy Griffith Show, Richard appreciated its timeless humor and simple values.

Gifted with a creative spirit, Richard enjoyed woodworking and built several birdhouses, a dollhouse, and handcrafted Christmas trees. He also loved playing the drums and had a special place in his heart for dogs. His faithful companions, Buddy and Sweetie, were more than pets—they were his walking partners and loyal friends.
