Richard and I began a special bond from the first day we met. He was full of life and excitement and always was respectful to me. I, too, love the outdoors, so we had many stories to share. He helped my husband do the addition on our house on the weekends while he was still in highschool but always played with my daughter and made her laugh everytime he came through the door. She called him "Funny Richard." He and his family will forever be a happy memory in my heart. Cindy, if you need anything at all, please call me. Rest with God Richard, I love you!

We were deeply saddened to hear the news of the tragic death of Richard. We wish we could find the words to ease your pain. Losing a child is one of the saddest life challenges and words that can give you true comfort are difficult to find. It doesn’t matter how old he was he will always be your little boy. We will always hold the memories close to our hearts of Richard growing up with our boys. They played a lot of baseball and football together all through their school years. You have our sincere condolences and sympathy. We love you, and if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call.

From playing baseball, riding dirt bikes, to going fishing growing up Richard and I had some fun. Richard was a brother to me growing up and we shared some memories that will never be forgotten. Richard could always put a smile on your face. He was the only one I think I ever got in trouble in school with for laughing too much in class. Growing up we were both going to be just like that ol guy in the orange Tennessee ball cap that fished on TV, just ask Richard he was 10yrs old and could out fish old Bill Dance. Richard and I thought we were just like our ol men, till we put that Red Man in and both were sick as dogs. We would sit on the banks of old farm ponds in Brooks telling lies, talking about girls, sports, what would our kids be like, God, and how when we grow up we just want the simple life. Richad had a kind heart and a good soul. I remember at school one day some boys were picking on a kid, and Richard let them boys have it. Richard took up for the weak, and always had a gentle side to him. If you knew Richard you knew that no matter what you could always count on him to be there for you. Richard was just a good ol country boy that never let this world get him down. Richard could walk into a room and light it up. Some of my best childhood memories were with Richard. Richard will be greatly missed and will always be apart of my life and so many others. Ricky, Cynthia, and Heather you are in our thoughts and prayers! I know Richard is looking down smiling, in Heaven right now with a dog sitting next to him while Richard wets a line and the fish never stop biting. I bet God already told Richard, "son there is so much to do here other than just fish", and Richard said with a smile, "I am fine right here this is what I always wanted" and rubs the old dog on the head. You have impacted my childhood so much and will be missed by many and I might have never said it, but I do love you! My wife Caitlin and I were in the kitchen last night laughing about the time me and Richard sat behind her in History and used to see how many marks we could put on the back of her neck before she turned around and yelled at us. His memories will live on forever. If you guys need anything feel free to call me 678-215-7368 at anytime. Love the Malcolm's!

I met Richard almost 7 years ago when he bought a puppy from me and we intantly became close. He was so full of life and could make you feel better when you were down. Richard and I got very close a few years later and I even introduced him to Arisha. I am 35 and Richard was like a little brother to me in many ways. My heart aches from his loss but at the same time I know he is looking down on us with that smile.............God bless and keep his family close through this Aweful time.
