Richard (Rich) Lewis Pfeifer passed away peacefully at home on June 5, 2025, in Silverton, Oregon, after a courageous battle with cancer. He was surrounded by love, in the arms of his wife, Karen Pfeifer, and his daughter, Lucille Gray.

Rich was a man of humor, kindness, and quiet wisdom. Born to Richard and Lois Pfeifer, who preceded him in death, he grew up alongside his beloved sister, Kathy Pfeifer. Rich dedicated over 30 years of his life working as an RV plumber in Mt. Angel, Oregon, and proudly served in the Army National Guard for 9 years.

A man of many passions, Rich collected black powder rifles and was an active member of several black powder clubs. His love for classic rock, camping, and being part of the Eagles Club were some of many interests he had.

Rich's heart was as generous as his humor was sharp. He never missed a chance to volunteer — whether it was picking kids up in the church van for Sunday school or offering a helping hand to anyone in need. His jokes, Seinfeld references, and playful antics brightened every room.

Rich believed in living fully and loving deeply. His warmth, loyalty, and ability to make people laugh will be missed beyond measure but carried on in the hearts of those he loved.

Rich's memory and the beautiful legacy he leaves behind will endure in the hearts and minds of those who loved him.  Rest easy, Rich — you are so loved, and your light will never fade
