Richard Dauginis

In Loving Memory of Richard Douglas John Dauginis (Chef)

April 30th, 1967 - August 23rd, 2023

A cherished father, husband, brother, son, uncle, cousin, and friend, Richard was a man who embodied kindness, laughter, and the joy of life. He taught us the importance of humor, the joy of sharing good food, and the power of inclusivity. As a devoted and loving husband to Kathy Dauginis, and a proud father to Natasha and Ryan, he leaves behind a legacy of love and warmth. He was a beloved brother to Wally Dauginis, a brother in law to Loreta Dauginis, and a treasured uncle to their children, Alicia and Andrius.

Richard’s time with us came to an end on August 23, 2023 at the age of 56, after struggling with the weight of mental illness - leaving a lasting impact on everyone who knew him. His presence will deeply be missed, but his spirit will live on in our hearts forever.
