Richard Dale Hissam, 63, of Chippewa, passed away on July 14th, 2025, at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh.

He was born in Sutton, West Virginia on January 13th, 1962, the son of Virgie Mae (Coffman) Hissam and the late Robert Dale Hissam. In addition to his mother, he is survived by his loving wife, Bonnie (McKelvey) Hissam, his children, Michelle (Michael) Lamenza, Mindy (Matthew) Reider and Ricky (Mareah) Hissam, his grandchildren, Cameron and Caden Reider and Lucius Hissam and his sister, Jeannie (Mike) Sayre.

Richard was a proud and honorable veteran of the U.S. Army.  A man of integrity and deep devotion to his family. He was a true jack of all trades who had a passion for working with his hands and a heart for sharing those passions with the ones he loved.

Whether he was woodworking with his daughters, golfing with his son, fishing with his grandsons, or traveling alongside his beloved wife, he found joy in every moment spent with his family. One of his lifelong dreams was to visit all 50 states with his wife, a dream he was able to fulfill, creating cherished memories along the way.

He was a hunter who loved riding motorcycles and a man who never hesitated to lend a hand to anyone in need. He left an indelible mark on all who knew him by being generous, capable and kind.

His legacy lives on through his children and grandchildren, his pride and joys who carry forward his spirit, his values, and his enduring love.

Friends will be welcomed on Friday, July 18th, from 1-3 p.m. and 5 p.m. until the time of a service at 7 p.m., in the J&J Spratt Funeral Home, 1612 3rd Avenue, New Brighton, who was in charge of his arrangements.
