Richard Edward Wagner

Richard "Reds" Wagner, 76, passed away on February 10, 2026. Richard was born in Minersville, PA, on October 8, 1949, to Robert and Mary Wagner. The family moved to Coopersburg, PA, where Richard lived for 75 years.

Richard worked in landscaping and construction. He enjoyed hunting, fishing, helping friends, and watching his favorite TV shows. He was a fan of the Coopersburg Diner, "The Coop," and the White Haven Family Diner. Cheeseburgers were his favorite.

Richard was skilled at creating nicknames for people and situations. He was funny, opinionated, and strong in his decisions. Without a lot of conversation, those of us who were close to him knew we mattered.

Richard is survived by cousins Ellen (Dave) Brown and Jack (Bobbie) Purcell, and friends who feel like family: Dale, David, and Charles Haase; Mary Mauer; Ed and Mary Goehring; Susan Schaffer Griffin, James, and Tim Schaffer; Bonnie Stenroos; and Pat Romig and Termite. Richard was preceded in death by his parents and his close friends, Dennis Mauer and John Stenroos. Richard was a simple man with a solid heart deep inside. He is loved and will be missed.

To honor his wishes, there will be no services.
