On April 07, 2021, Elmer Richard Channell, Jr. “Dick”, 65, passed away after his second battle with cancer. He was born to Elmer R Channell Sr and Ina Mae Channell (Ware) in Cheverly, Maryland on November 02, 1955. He married Donna Channell (Hutchison) in 1976 and they enjoyed living in Anne Arundel County and the Eastern Shore, while most recently moving to Estero, Florida. Together they raised two children, Stephen Michael Channell and Mark David Channell (Danielle). He is also survived by 2 grandchildren Benjamin and Zachary, as well as his sister Linda Channell Norris. Dick graduated from Capital Christian Academy (Largo) in 1974. Dick worked at United Parcel Service until he retired in 2005 and was passionate about affecting the most positive change in people. Dick will always be remembered by his infectious smile and willingness to help anyone in need. He loved boating with friends, fishing, and spending time with his grandsons. Due to COVID-19 a Celebration of Life will be planned, later this year. In lieu of flowers, Dick’s family is suggesting donations be made to the American Cancer Society in his name.
