Stephen K. "Steve" Richman

Stephen “Steve” Kent Richman, 76, Kokomo, passed away Tuesday, April 23rd, 2024, at Grand Brook Memory Care in Fishers, Indiana.  Born in Muncie, Indiana on September 22, 1947, he was the son of Wilbur and Effie (Holbert)Richman.  Steve graduated from Kokomo High School in 1966.  He served honorably in the United States Navy, on the USS Charles H. Roan from 1967-1970. 

He was married to Patricia (Patty) Richman on May 19, 1977.  Steve is a Delphi Delco retiree (2001), where he was an active leader in the UAW through the 1980’s.  Throughout his life Steve was very active and loved to be outdoors.  You could always find him camping, weather that was in a tent or his motorhome, training his dogs (German short-haired pointers) to hunt, hunting deer, pheasant and quail, floating the Eel River, fly fishing, golfing or just piddling in the yard.

Steve’s greatest trait was his loyalty and pride in his family and friends.  He particularly enjoyed the company of his grandsons.  Always one to help someone in need, he was known as someone you could rely on.  His sarcastic sense of humor was a comfort to friends and family alike and he could always be counted on for a good “dad joke.”   He especially enjoyed a good meal out and was very fond of his breakfast club at the Windmill Café. 

He is preceded in death by his wife Patty (who recently passed on January 7th), his parents Wilbur and Effie (Holbert) Richman and brother Michael Richman.  He is survived by his children Denise (Kim) Henderson, Indianapolis, IN; Jed (Molly) Richman, Pendleton, IN; grandchildren Jalen Hodges, Chicago, IL and J.R. and Toby Richman, Pendleton, IN; brother Tim Richman, Kokomo, IN and many special nieces, nephews, and close friends. 

A funeral service will take place at 12 pm on Monday April 29, 2024, at Shirley & Stout Funeral Home, 1315 W Lincoln Road, Kokomo, with Pastor Andrew Johnson officiating.  Burial will follow in Albright Cemetery with military honors provided by the United States Navy and the Greentown American Legion.  Friends may visit with the family from 10 am to 12 pm on Monday at the funeral home. Memorial contributions may be made to the Main Street United Methodist Church, 830 South Main Street, Kokomo, IN. 46901.  Messages of condolence may be left online at www.shirleyandstout.com.
