Richard Lee ReWalt, born on April 22, 1936, in Pennsylvania, passed away on November 3, 2025, in Laurel, Maryland. He lived a life woven with dedication, love, and remarkable accomplishments. A successful loan officer, Richard was known for his passion for carpentry, mechanics and baseball. He channeled his passion for baseball through coaching and passing on the love of the game to his children. Richard used his incredible skills to build a beautiful deck and gazebo behind his home.
Richard was a devoted man of great faith, making significant contributions to his community through his involvement at St. Helen Catholic Church in Fort Pierce, Florida, and St. Nicholas Catholic Church in Laurel, Maryland. For many years, he served as the group leader of a scripture group for men, where his warmth and wisdom inspired those around him.
He leaves behind his beloved wife, Georgianne McNeirney-ReWalt, and a loving family, including his daughter, Anna Lee ReWalt, and son, Benjamin Jesse ReWalt. Richard embraced his role as a stepfather to Megan Anne Hultgren, James Aloysius McNeirney, Patrick McNeirney, Brendan McNeirney and Ryan McNeirney; and as a proud grandfather to Lars Hultgren, Kristin Hultgren, Kyra Hultgren, Jack NcNeirney, Emma McNeirney, Sarah McNeirney, Hannah McNeirney, Elise McNeirney, Amalia McNeirney, Ruby ReWalt, Colin Prucnal and Bruce ReWalt.
One of Richard's proudest accomplishments was his deep bond with his dogs. He passionately chronicled the touching story of his beloved dog, Maggie, who was lost for three years in his book, "Black Ghost of Nashville." This tale reflected not only his search for Maggie from Florida to Nashville but also his unwavering love for her.
Richard's memory will be cherished by those who knew him, especially as they recall the relatable stories woven into their lives together. He touched countless lives with his kindness and skills, leaving an indelible mark that will be remembered fondly by family and friends alike. Richard is preceded in death by his daughter, Virginia Demsey, whose spirit remains entwined with the memories he left behind.
