James Douglas "J.D." Rich

May 15, 1980 — August 5, 2018

James Douglas “J.D.” Rich, 38, of Robinson, IL, died at 2:45 p.m. on Sunday, August 5, 2018 at his home. He was born May 15, 1980 en-route to Regional Hospital in Terre Haute, IN, the son of Mike Rich & Rita (Drummond) Rich. They delivered their son right there in their car, and this proved to be the start of an unconventional life! He grew up in Robinson and was a 1998 graduate of Robinson High School. He was always an avid sports fan, and had a working knowledge of various teams’ personnel, especially his beloved Chicago Bears. As a young man, he idolized Michael Jordan and was an avid Bulls fan. He also followed the Ohio State Buckeyes enthusiastically. Relationships were important to J.D., and few things brought him more life than spending time with his “brothers from other mothers”. He will be remembered as a big-hearted soul who lived life his way. J.D. is survived by his son, Johnavon Rich (Terre Haute, IN); by his parents, Mike & Rita Rich (Robinson, IL); by his sister & brother-in-law, Kelly & Brandon Kitts (Robinson, IL); by his nephew, Brier Kitts (Robinson, IL); by his grandmother, Nina Drummond (Robinson, IL); by his beloved cousins, Sarah Rich (Minneapolis, MN) and Christen Thomas (Lawrenceburg, IN); by his very special buddies, Jaime and Mo. He was preceded in death by his son, Justin Rich; by his paternal grandparents, Charles “Mort” Rich & Elizabeth “Betty Rich; by his maternal grandfather, James Drummond. A time of visitation will be held from 4:00-6:00 p.m. on Saturday, August 11th at the Goodwine Funeral Home in Robinson. Funeral services will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday at the funeral home with Celebrant Curt Goodwine officiating the service. Burial will be held in the Robinson New Cemetery at a later date. Memorials may be made to the Riley Children’s Hospital or to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. Envelopes will be available at the funeral home.
