Richard Khederian, born January 8, 1958, in Detroit, MI, passed away on January 28, 2025, in Farmington Hills, MI. after a long illness. Son of the late Margaret and Thomas (Khoren) Khederian, he was embraced by his in-laws, the late Henry and Victoria Kachadourian, as family.

Married to Corinne Kachadourian on May 25, 1991, at St. Stepanos Armenian Church in Elberon, NJ, they built a loving home in Bloomfield Hills and shared 33 years of marriage. He was a devoted father to Henry Khoren and Victoria Sapega and a cherished brother to Deborah (Neshan) Ohanian.  Richard will also be missed by many relatives, family friends and his special caregivers who treated him like family.

A graduate of Cass Tech High School, Richard earned his B.A. from the University of Michigan and his J.D. from Emory University. Admitted to multiple state bars, he began his career interning for the UAW in Washington, D.C., before joining his father's law firm in Detroit. After his father’s passing, he moved the practice to Bloomfield Hills, focusing on real estate, contracts, and estate planning. In later years, he served as Counsel at Powers Chapman in Troy before retiring due to illness.

Richard was a proud Armenian and an active member of St. Sarkis and St. John Armenian Churches. He was known for his humor, generosity, and devotion to family, friends and clients.   A lifelong Michigan Wolverine, he cherished time spent in Ann Arbor, attending games, and sharing traditions with his children.

A loving husband and father, Richard found joy in family adventures, games, travel, and hosting special occasions. His kindness and warmth left a lasting impact on all who knew him.
