May 28, 1968 – October 23, 2026
Sean Rex Richardson, 58, passed away on Friday, October 23, 2026, in Bloomington, Indiana, surrounded by his loving family.
He was born on May 28, 1968, to Ronald Richardson and Diana (Ryan) Schmidt. Sean dedicated 30 years of his life to the tree service industry, working for several different companies throughout his career. He also worked for E-Z-GO Golf Company and Wilstem Wildlife Park in Paoli, Indiana.
Sean had a deep love for the outdoors and enjoyed hunting morel mushrooms, fishing, and camping. Whether searching the woods for morels, spending time by the water, or enjoying the peace of a campsite, he appreciated life’s simple pleasures.
Sean had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He was the kind of person who would lend a helping hand without expecting anything in return. His kindness, generosity, and willingness to help others will always be remembered.
Sean is survived by his daughter, Jessica Dawn Sanders, and his son, Jonathon Scott Richardson of Greenwood, Indiana. He was a proud grandfather to four grandchildren: Brayden, Kae, and Aubrey, children of Jessica; and Madison, daughter of Jonathon. He also leaves behind his stepmother, JoEllen Richardson; his brothers, Todd Richardson of Bloomington, Indiana, and Eric Richardson of Ellettsville, Indiana; and his sisters, Tonya Schmidt Pizzuro of Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, and Erin (Steve) Johnson of Greenwood, Indiana, along with several loving nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
Sean was preceded in death by his parents, Ronald Richardson and Diana (Ryan) Schmidt, as well as his grandparents.
Sean will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and everyone fortunate enough to have known him. His generous spirit, love for the outdoors, and the memories he created will forever remain in the hearts of those who loved him.
Forever loved, forever remembered.
