Ritchie is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Suzie Crago; his son Jeffrey (Jenni) Crago; and his daughter Chelsea (Brian) Roberts; his brother Tony (Lisa) Crago; and his grandchildren: Ethan (10) and Finn Crago (4), Brycen Hill (15), Noland (9) and Wells (3) Roberts.
Ritchie was preceded in death by his loving parents Robert Crago and Allie Doerre; his brother Chris Crago.
Ritchie spent his career with Homeland Security with the Federal Government until his retirement in 2020.
Ritchie loved his family dearly and spending quality time with them, especially his grandchildren. He loved to camp and travel but most specifically go on cruises. However, when he wanted some solitude, he would browse the aisles of his favorite store, Menards. He was an avid Colts and Cubs fan.
Ritchie took pride in all he did, especially tending to his lawn and yard, and the maintenance of his vehicles- he had a Toyota Tundra for 20 years that he often spent time working on and keeping up to par, before his most recent 2017 Chevy Silverado purchase.
A visitation and service for Ritchie will be held Thursday, June 6, 2024 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM at Little & Sons Funeral Home, 4901 E Stop Eleven Road, Indianapolis, Indiana 46237. He will be laid to rest following his service at Crown Hill Cemetery, 700 38th St, Indianapolis, IN 46208.
Ritchie loved giving back and supporting the future generations, thus so, the family asks that donations be made to an organization that would mean most to Ritchie. In lieu of flowers please kindly contribute to The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Indianapolis: 615 N. Alabama St., Ste. 400 Indianapolis, IN 46204.
