Obituary
Richard Glynn Scantling, 61, of Chesterfield, VA went to be with the Lord on Saturday, August 1, 2020. Richard, known as Rick to his family and friends, filled many wonderful roles throughout his lifetime: beloved husband of 39 years to Jana Scantling; father of Alexandra Scantling and Jennifer Lamson; father-in-law of Casey Lamson; grandfather of Matthew Scantling-Sharp and Kierstyn Lamson; brother of Nicholas Scantling, Robin Perkins, Clifford Scantling, Joanna Greer, and George Scantling, III. As the oldest of seven children, Richard also had an abundance of nieces and nephews that he cherished. He is preceded in death by his brother, Edward Scantling, Sr, and by his parents George R. Scantling Jr. and Lauryn C. Scantling .
Over the course of his life, he served our Lord in every opportunity that was available to him. He filled his free time with the love of fishing, racing, and football. He was a business owner of Aljen Drywall in Chesterfield County, Virginia, where he strived to always put quality above quantity.
Next to the Lord, Richard always valued his family above all. To him, his children were to be his legacy and considered them a reflection of his love of family, unselfish mentality, and honest hard work. Richard was also known for his relationships outside of the home as well. His impact on people had a positive outlook from the very first conversation they engaged in. Known for being a “walking encyclopedia,” he was always eager to share his knowledge with anyone that would share their time. Richard will be fondly remembered as a man who always rose above the challenges in life while striving to teach others to do the same.
The family will welcome extended family and friends on Wednesday, August 12th, 2020 between the hours of 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, with a memorial service to follow at 2:00 PM.

My love, my life, my heart’s symphony.
Forever tangled in our lives as one.
Love never ceasing,
Love forever honored
I will carry you with me every moment of every day always sharing in things to come. Seeing what I see and feeling all there is to feel. Every breath you will know with every heart beat that moves. Our life together has been more then I could have ever imagined and only you shared that life with me.
My heart will forever be yours. I love you my husband and that has always been enough for both of us. That is all…
Jana

Words cannot explain the loss of feel without you. I know you taught me to be strong, and I have to belive I’m strong enough to get through this. I know you hurt so much every day, and I would never want you to suffer when you wake up. I know how hard you tried to make it for us, and pushed through when all odds were against you. Im glad you finally found peace from this world, but im sure going to miss talking to you and putting my head on your shoulder, where it fit so perfect. Im going to miss listening to music with you, or simply talking about where life is taking me. We always agreed that I love you just didn’t cover it, and I still think that stands true. So no matter where you are, always remember, I love you more ?
