Richard Wagner, 70, of Center Township, passed away unexpectedly in his home on December 14, 2024.

He was the beloved son of the late William J. Wagner and Stella (Gentile) Wagner. Richard had a lifelong passion for the outdoors, whether it was going on nature walks, tending to his garden, berry picking, or hunting for arrowheads. He also enjoyed traveling and sharing stories of his many adventures. Rich had a way of making everyone laugh with his big personality and could always be recognized by his distinctive whistle, making him a truly memorable presence in the lives of all who knew him.

Richard was a retired union worker and a proud member of several clubs.

He is survived by his three daughters, Rachel Vixman, Hayley Wagner, and Lyndsey Wagner; his brother and sister, William D. Wagner and Susan Wagner; his niece and nephew, Danielle and Branden Thornton; and his six grandchildren, Marley Vixman, Emma Vixman, Olivia Vixman, Leah Vixman, Kali Unis, and Frankie Unis.

A celebration of life will be held for him in the spring.
