Richard Mark Janes went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Monday, July 18, 2022. Richard was the son of the late Bob Richard and Barbara Tucker Janes and the loving husband to Katrina Dickey Janes.
Richard served his country in the United States Navy and was a member of Memorial United Methodist Church in Greer. He was a past President of Freewheelers Bicycle Club and cycled "The Assaults" on Mount Mitchell. Richard was known for being very athletic and loved to play golf and bike. His love for sports began at an early age and continued into High School where he joined many teams and organizations. Richard finished 2nd in the state in his weight division in High School wrestling, along with swimming, cheerleading, and singing in the choir. Not only did Richard play these sports, he went on to volunteer his time coaching many of these same sports for his son. He was also in the Greenville Chorale and sang in the choir at church. Richard enjoyed coaching and helping others and often lived by the saying, "half of life is showing up." Richard was an encourager, a motivator, and was truly loved by those around him.
In addition to his wife, Richard is survived by his son, Hunter Janes; his sister, Patti Janes; and his brother-in-law, John Dickey.
He is preceded in death by his brother, Stephen Michael Janes.
