Obituary For Richard W. Hochendoner

Age 75, of Atlanta, GA, formerly of Brentwood, unexpectedly was called to Heaven by the Lord and reunited with his parents on Friday, November 22, 2024.

Beloved son of the late Paul and Dorothy Hochendoner; dear brother of Darlene (Frank, Sr.) Denk, Barbara (Bill) Chamberlain, Paul (Peggy) Hochendoner and Marian (Jim) Grills; cherished uncle of numerous nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and their families. Richard will be missed by everyone who knew him, but he will always remain in our hearts forever.

Born and raised in Brentwood, Richard later moved to Atlanta, GA and made it his home. He proudly served in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam War (1968-1971) and worked as a Senior Project Manager for Fulton County Government. Richard’s true passions were gardening, cooking, talking to friends and family, and enjoying the arts.

    I met Rick thru work: me at the City of Atlanta, him at Fulton County, when we both supported the same software tool. A few years later, when I bought a house, was delighted to learn that he was a neighbor down the street. Through our shared love of gardening, we traded plants that I shall always treasure with special fondness. A wonderful man!
