Richard Spencer Falkowski

Richard Spencer Falkowski, 58, of Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, passed away on Wednesday, September 25, 2024. Born on June 4, 1966 in Hartford, CT he was the Son of  the late Brenda Wright Lisle and Edward John Falkowski.

As a graduate of Johnson & Wales University, Richard (“Rusty”) enjoyed creating unique culinary delights. His love of animals guided him to working as a zoo docent and visiting animal sanctuaries. Alongside his work and leisure activities Richard retired from US Army Reserves with over 20 years of service. He is most remembered for his easy-going attitude towards life, always supporting his friends as family, and some of us experienced his soul through his poetry.

Richard is preceded in death by his parents, Brenda and Edward Falkowski.

He is survived by his sister June Falkowski-Ashway and his brother Lance Falkowski.

A Celebration of Life Service is being planned for a future date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Animal Survival International @ https://www.animalsurvival.org , World Wildlife Fund @ https://www.worldwildlifefund.org or National Wildlife Federation @ https://supportnwf.org.
