Richard "Rich" Courtright

In Loving Memory of Richard Courtright

July 16, 1954 – June 11, 2025

Richard Courtright, born July 16, 1954, in Coquille, Oregon, passed away June 11, 2025. He was 70 years old.

Richard grew up in the small town of Coquille, where he developed a lifelong love for the outdoors. Whether it was fishing on a quiet riverbank, setting crab pots along the Oregon coast, or heading into the woods for a hunting trip, he felt most at home in nature. These weren’t just hobbies, they were passions he shared with those he loved.

Family meant everything to Richard. He was the heart of many backyard barbecues, where stories were told, laughter flowed, and memories were made. His warmth, humor, and generosity made everyone feel welcome.

Richard’s legacy lives on in the traditions he passed down, the strength he showed, and the love he gave so freely. He will be remembered as a man who worked hard, loved deeply, and found joy in life’s simple pleasures.

Richard is survived by his children, Jenny Rodriguez, Kim Pugmire, Suzanne Welch-Fields, Katy Courtright, and Brian Courtright; his sisters, Terrie Middleton and Carrie Shields; and many beloved grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Dorothy Courtright, and his sister, Cory Courtright.

We will be having a celebration of life on August 10th and would love for friends and family to join us at Sturdivant Park in Coquille at 1:00PM.
