Obituary of Richard Paul Geaghan
Bangor--Richard Paul Geaghan, 56, passed away at his home March 14, 2021, after a period of declining health. He was born January 23, 1965, to John and Arline Geaghan.
Richard was the youngest of their 11 children. Being a part of such a large and active family meant that life was never dull! Richard grew up in Brewer and attended Brewer schools. In his young life, it seemed that he would make his career in the restaurant industry. He had a love of cooking, and he worked in several restaurants including a period in his family's business. As he grew older however, Richard was plagued by illnesses which regrettably he battled all of his life. Richard's struggles are over, and although he will be sadly missed by his family and friends, we believe he is at peace.
He was predeceased by his parents, John and Arline (Harvey) Geaghan; two brothers, Timothy and David Geaghan; sister Kathleen Geaghan. Richard is survived by his siblings and their families: Michael Geaghan and wife Vivian, Terry Geaghan, Christopher Geaghan and wife Michelle, Larry Geaghan and wife Rhonda, Patrick Geaghan and wife Brenda, Carolyn (Geaghan) Mardosa and husband Michael, and Peter Geaghan and wife Cynthia; special aunt and uncle, Joanne and Ken Harvey. Richard will be remembered and missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
