In the memo please write “In Memory of Richard Decatur II” . Richard Decatur II, known as “Richie,” passed away on January 13, 2025, in Dania Beach, Florida, at the age of 40. He was the younger of two children, born to Richard and Karen Decatur in Cheverly, MD. He was a beloved son, brother, uncle, and friend whose presence brought warmth and laughter to all who knew him. Richie was a simple guy who found joy in the little things—working on his cars, spending time at home with his parents, and hanging out with his neighbors. You could always find him outside tinkering with his cars or chatting with neighbors, offering advice on anything automotive. His greatest pride and joy was his 1980 Buick Regal, a restoration project he had been dedicated to for over 20 years. His proudest moments were spent bringing it back to life, pouring his heart and craftsmanship into every detail. He also devoted his talent in restoring his sister’s classic 1968 Ford Mustang, another testament to his passion and skill. Richie’s meticulous nature and strong work ethic meant he never missed a day on the job- he loved working at Dent Wizard, taking immense pride in everything he did. There, he formed a brotherhood with his co-workers, a bond that can never be broken. Beyond his love for cars, he was known for his quick wit and sense of humor. He had a way of making people laugh, lifting spirits with his clever remarks and effortless charm. His presence will be deeply missed. He is survived by his parents Richard and Karen Decatur; sister Christina Decatur Barreras, brother in law Henry Barreras, and nieces Arya Barreras and Madison Ortiz. His memory will live on in the hearts of those who loved him, and his legacy of hard work, humor, and passion will never be forgotten.
