In loving memory of Richard Pilling, who sadly and suddenly passed away on 28th August 2022

Richard, or "Rich" as he was fondly known by those closest to him, was a quiet, intelligent, introverted, unique, creative and spiritual soul. He was a young man with high functioning autism and a fascinating outlook on the world.
We as a family were ferociously proud of Richard, his stoicism and wisdom beyond his years.
During his school years, Richard attained a level of education and grade that allowed him to study a course in Games Design at University level, earning himself a First Class Bsc. Hon. Degree.
Understanding how difficult an industry Game Design was to enter into, he focused his energy into Volunteering. He found this enormously fulfilling and was well liked by those he worked alongside. Later he took paid work at a branch of KFC, a position he enjoyed also.

We have lost a wonderful Son, Brother, Grandson, Nephew, Cousin and Friend.
Darling, we all miss you terribly.

Rest in Peace, Richard.
Love you always. Xxxxx
