Richie Soltz

09/11/1992 – 04/24/2024

Richie Stolz went to heaven on Wednesday, April 24. He was born on Sept. 11, 1992, and was the youngest of five children. He lived in Goleta and Carpinteria his entire life, attending Carpinteria schools and “congratulating” from Carpinteria High School. 

For the last ten years, he has loved being a part of Momentum Work Inc. adult day program, where he made lots of friends.

Richie had many joys in his life. He loved birdwatching, Legos, puzzles, cartoons, Godzilla movies, camping with his family and especially Disneyland. The highlight of his week was always church, and for the last few years, he really loved attending Christ Church Carpinteria.

Richie is survived by his parents, Doug and Carol Stolz, and siblings Nada (Jeff) Matson, Nancy (James) Garza, Sarah (Austin) Stolz-Beede and Michael (Amy) Stolz. He is also survived by his much-loved nieces, June and Phoebe Garza, and Audrey and Alice Beede.

A service will be held for Richie at Carpinteria Cemetery; a reception will follow on Monday, May 13 at 2 p.m. Side dishes or desserts for the reception would be welcome.
