Richard Matcham Perez, 19, of Vacaville, was taken from this life on Nov. 16.
Born May 21, 1991, in Reno, Nev., he resided in Vacaville for 15 years.
He was just starting his adult life when he was taken from us by senseless violence.

Richard was charismatic, fun loving and an outgoing young man. Everyone liked being around him. He was respectful and caring and always kept in touch with all his family and friends. He was very humorous and made others laugh. He was loved by his family and friends. Richard loved listening to oldies, dancing, watching the Raiders football games and he loved food, especially his family's home-cooked chicken enchiladas. He knew cars, from fixing engines to detailing and was a talented artist.

My prayers go out to you and your family I remember when I first met you from my son Chris I had gave him a ride home and I was playing oldies and he said I like that music i was shocked because you don't find that often in the younger generation. Richard when I told Chris about what happen to you he was very upset and wished he could have been able to go to the service but he sends his respect and much love to you and your family...
