On November 30, 2025, Bryan Keith Richards, a 63-year-old resident of Marquette, Iowa, passed away. Born in Calumet, MI on April 27, 1963, Bryan was the son of Ronald Richards and Marilyn Richards Hosking. A proud graduate of Calumet High School (class of 1980), Bryan was also a distinguished Army veteran and a Culinary Arts graduate of MATC Milwaukee.
Bryan was an incredibly talented individual, blessed with the ability to repair or construct anything. He excelled in hockey and could skillfully prepare the most delicious dishes. His passion for fishing was unmatched, an innate love instilled in him from birth, when his father gifted him his first fishing pole at birth.
Throughout his later years, Bryan battled a private and painful struggle with alcohol addiction. Though this disease changed the course of his life and brought moments of profound darkness, we will choose to remember the gifted, caring, and kind-hearted man we knew and loved. While the pain of the loss is heavy, we can take comfort in knowing that Bryan is finally at peace.He is survived by his daughter, Anna Richards; his son, Andrew Richards; his mother, Marilyn Richards Hosking; his brother, Clyde Richards; his nephew, Al Richards; his niece, Sabrina Imoehl; Patricia Richards Rudolph, the mother of his children; and four grandchildren, Thor, Preston, Landon, and Auston, along with other living relatives and friends in the area. He was preceded in death by his father, Ronald, as well as Howard Hosking.
A memorial service honoring Bryan’s memory will take place at 10 a.m on June 6th at Erickson-Crowley-Peterson in Calumet, MI, for those who wish to attend. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Calumet United Methodist Church.
