Steven D. “Steve” Richmond, age 68, of New Castle, DE, passed away on Thursday, June 6, 2024.
Born in Wilmington, DE on January 15, 1956, he was a son of the late Robert T. and Barbara Ann (Adkinson) Richmond.

Steve enjoyed listening to blue grass music. He was also an avid fisher and hunter. Every year Steve would look forward to his family’s annual turkey hunting trip in the mountains of West Viriginia. He cherished his family and the memories he made with them, including his two beloved late beagles, Mikey and McGee.
In addition to his parents, Steve was preceded in death by his brother, Robert Glenn Richmond. He is survived by his sisters, Denise B. Richmond and Paula C. Richmond (Patrick); nieces, April Iacono, Amy Iacono and Cammie McClafferty; nephew, Joseph Iacono; great-nephews, Nicholas Ward, Frankie Iacono, Sr., and Dante Peronti; great-nieces, Talyah Cook and Madison Lewis; and great-great-nephews, Dominic Cortes and Frankie Iacono, Jr.
