Joseph "Richard" Montoya

Richie will always be remembered for his smile and kindness

May you all be surrounded by love and that you find strength in the upcoming days. May all your memories bring you peace as time allows. Love you and thinking of you!

So sad to hear about my dear cousins passing. Thanks to God, he didn´t suffer very long. I was kind of dreading going to Mass yesterday, as I knew I wouldn´t see his glowing smile or get a tender hug from him. I could always count on him for thatAmazing enough I believe I felt his presence. We are sending all of our love and prayers to the family

I never told you Richard but I envied you in so many ways. Your ability to see something good in situations the rest of us saw only bad in. Your ability to make people smile when they didn't want to. You were and always be an inspiration to me..a bright ray of sunshine in every memory I have of you. I will miss you my friend. Rest in Peace.

Richard has always been a great friend to me over the many years I've known him. I can honestly say he is one of the best men I've ever known. I will forever miss him, and cherish the many great memories. Fly high Churd!!!!

I saw Richard at Aunt Theresa's birthday party. He has always been so sweet, and always smiling. God give the family peace and strength

Richard was 13 years old when I came into the family. The Montoya Family is huge, but Richard stood out because he was so sweet to everyone, very helpful and was always smiling. His faith was something to admire about him, which I hope gives all the family comfort. You will be missed by many Richard.
