Richard Alan DuPont
July 6, 1963 – March 2, 2025
Richard Alan DuPont was born on July 6, 1963 to Richard DuPont and Jacqueline “Jackie” Shibata (formerly DuPont), in Bronx, NY. Raised in a large family of grandmothers, aunts, uncles and many cousins, his childhood was magical with celebrations and weekly gatherings. He passed away, holding his sisters’ hands, on March 2, 2025, at the age of 61, in Queens, New York after a short battle with liver cancer.
Richard joined the United States Marine Corps at the age of 18, and went on to work construction and become a certified personal trainer. His passion was physical fitness and he was extremely disciplined in his workout regime. Outside of his professional endeavors, Richard had a zest for life and enjoyed being a part of it whether it was cruising through his beloved New York City streets, enjoying a delicious meal, listening to music, or conversing about a topic from his vast mental library.
Richard will be deeply missed and is survived by his loving sisters Danielle DuPont Barney, Tiffany Shibata, Candice Shibata and Nicole DuPont Mintigue, niece Jessica Barney Castro, stepfather Tad Shibata, aunts, uncles, cousins, and dear friends. He is preceded in death by his father Richard, and mother Jackie.
