Richard’s family and friends will remember him as their favorite handyman and shade tree mechanic. He could work on and fix almost anything and loved everything that had a motor. Richard enjoyed being outdoors and was a beautiful free spirited man who had a great sense of humor and a huge heart.

Richard will be clearly remembered and missed by his parents Brenda McKee (Danny) of Franklin, IN and Ralph Ellington (Susie) of Linton, IN; his four children Alysia Drucker (Carl) of Fort Campbell, KY, Joseph Ellington and James Ellington both of Columbus, IN and Savannah Ellington of Franklin, IN; his three beautiful grandchildren Marceline, Darwin and Rowan Drucker; a brother Robert McKee (Sharon) of Columbus, IN; and sisters Wendy Allen (David) of Franklin, IN, Sarah Mair (Ben) of Jasonville, IN and Kathy McKee of Franklin, IN who all will cherish memories of Richard. He also had several nieces and nephews that will always remember him pestering them and joking around.

Richard was preceded in death by an infant son Joshua Allen Ellington; and his grandparents Ralph and Norma Ellington and O.E. and Mayvline Smith; and a brother Steven Inman.
