Richard L. “Rich” Kreiser, 58, of Lebanon, passed away on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024, at his home. He was the husband of Ann M. (Foster) Kreiser.
Born in Lebanon on Nov. 26, 1965, following the death of his father at an early age, he was raised by his grandparents, Lester and Helen Kreiser.
He was a graduate of Lebanon High School with the Class of 1983. Rich worked as a salesman for Miller & Bixler. He was an avid car enthusiast, and speed was his middle name. He had an infectious smile and a crazy sense of humor. His habit of getting pulled over was non-stop. He had a love for food and insisted that he was going to pass out if not fed. He loved all animals, and they loved him, including turkeys. Our Great Dane, Scooby, was his sidekick. His gift of talking to anyone was absolutely amazing. We often referred to him as Chatty Cathy. He was a devoted gym rat and loved to help others in their journey of fitness. He loved to prank his family, especially his wife. He would go out of his way to help anyone with whatever need they had.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by his son, Nicholas P. Kreiser, of Myerstown; daughters, Amber J., wife of Josh Overdier, of Lebanon, and Chivon M. Sechrist, fiancée of Jeremy Miller, of Palmyra; and four grandchildren, Skyelin, Lexi, Caeden, and Bella.
There will be a celebration of life/car show on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024, from 1-4 p.m., at D.E. Richard Garage, 1 Speedway Dr., Fredericksburg, PA 17026.
