In Loving Memory of Rich Dieguez

In Loving Memory of Rich Dieguez

With heavy hearts, we share the devastating loss of our beloved husband, father, and grandfather, Rich Dieguez, who recently took his own life on Monday, June 9, 2025 after a quiet, lifelong struggle with depression and alcoholism.

Rich was deeply loved by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He was a man of integrity, strength, and unwavering dedication. Whether at work or at home, he poured his heart into everything he did. He hand-built the home we live in—a testament to his love and commitment to his family. There was nothing he wouldn't do to help someone in need, though he himself never asked for anything.

Rich was a private man who carried the weight of his past in silence. He suffered quietly, always putting others first, never letting on how deeply he was hurting. All he ever wanted was to be loved by his wife and children—and he was, deeply.

Rich leaves behind a heartbroken family: his wife, four daughters, one son, and a cherished grandson. The road ahead is filled with grief, healing, and adjustment—but also the responsibility of continuing the life he worked so hard to build.

This GoFundMe is being created to support one of his most cherished hopes: the future of his youngest daughter, Abby. Your donation will go directly toward her college fund, helping carry forward the love and legacy Rich left behind.

Thank you for your support, your prayers, and your love during this unimaginable time. If you knew Rich, you know how much this would mean to him.
