Richard was like a brother to me him and I went through many good and bad time at carson long and after graduation he came to live with me and was known by my friends as my brother. Him and I had many plans for the future and had planned in living near to each other and raising our kids to play football together. I loved richard as a friend and a brother I was closer to him than i was to my own brothers it hurts me very much to know that i will not see him again but I know that he died happy...

I am one of his uncles on his mother's side. After reading all these tributes to Richard, I am very proud that he has touched all of these lives in such a positive way.

Richard, along with his brother Michael, had some rough early years in a bad home environment. Their mother, Cathy, has been confined to a nursing home since 1992. Their father, Steve, passed away in 2001.

They moved in with Sherry Myers, Steve's sister, and she helped change their lives. They have become...

It was an honor to have known Rich. We believe that he is resting in peace and love. He will be greatly missed.
