Richard Del McCormick

Richard Del McCormick, 59, of Sunbury died suddenly in the evening hours of Saturday, November 2, 2024, at Genesis Hospital Emergency Room in Zanesville. 

He was born one of four children, three sons and one daughter on August 3, 1965, in Zanesville, to his parents, Delmer and Betty (Ott) McCormick. 

Rich served his country honorably in the United States Air Force. He currently worked for Columbus City Schools as the Director of Procurement. Outside his notable accolades, Rich was a true horseman and trail boss. He raised several horses and enjoyed trail riding them all over the hills of Morgan County. He enjoyed his pets, whether it be his dog C.C. or his barn cats. His family and friends will deeply miss the man who was always there for advice, help or just to listen. His sudden departure from this life has left a giant hole in the hearts of those who loved him. 

Richard is survived in life by the love of his life, his wife of 37 years, Angie (Mercer) McCormick; his mother, Betty McCormick; his daughter, Meghan Nicole McCormick; his siblings, Christy (Joe) Krinn, Howard (Barb Tyson) McCormick and Rob (Amy) Hall; his sisters-in-law, Trina (Scott) Carr and Dawn (Craig) Schooley and his mother-in-law, Shirley Mercer, as well as many nieces and nephews.

He is preceded in death by his father, Delmer H. McCormick and his brother-in-law, Kelly Mercer and his father-in-law, Bill Mercer.
