Michael J. Richardson PITTSFORD — Michael Jon Richardson, age 59, of Pittsford, VT, passed away on June 1, 2025. Born in Saugus, MA , February 8th, 1966, he was the youngest of three children. Due to his early health issues, primarily Cerebral Palsy, the family moved to Florida to take advantage of the warm climate and therapeutic ocean waters. The Easter Seal Society was immensely helpful with getting him the needed equipment and therapies that allowed him to attend public schools. He was always doted after for his big smile and red hair! The family eventually returned to Middlebury, Vt where Michael attended and graduated from Middlebury High School, Class of 1984. While enrolled there he participated in woodworking classes that eventually landed him a job with Middlebury Resource Center where they built and sold the Adirondack chairs that supported their mission. Michael is survived by his sister Wendy (James) Fortney and his brother Mark Richardson. Nephews Eric (Bre) Meador, Brian Meador, and a niece Meghan Richardson. He was preceded in death by his parents Brenda (Galusha) Richardson Korpi and Russell Richardson. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Patrick and Diane Eugair who provided Michael with a warm and nurturing home, and to his public guardian for her unwavering support and advocacy on Michael’s behalf. Services will be held privately by the family. Those who wish to remember him may consider a donation to the Easter Seal Society, the Special Olympics or another nonprofit dedicated to supporting individuals with disabilities.
