Richard Tullos Obituary

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Richard Lee Tullos, affectionately known as Rocky, a beloved figure within our community. Richard, born on September 27, 1946, in Harris County to Jack and Barbara Tullos, peacefully departed on March 14, 2024. He is survived by his son, Jabe Jason; and siblings, Charles and David Tullos. Richard also leaves behind cherished friends, Pat Heard, Connie Fay Ryan, Zelma Traylor, Patricia Nixon, and Tom "Fergie" Ferguson.

He was preceded in death by his son, Gabe Justin; as well as his parents, Jack and Barbara Tullos.

Richard graduated from Conroe High School in 1965, and continued his academic pursuits at Sam Houston State University. He served honorably in the United States Army, including a tour of duty in Vietnam. Professionally, Richard distinguished himself as a committed employee at Brown & Root. He harbored a profound passion for music and sports, with a particular fondness for baseball and football.

In honor of his life and legacy, a memorial service will be held at the Conroe VFW, Saturday, April 6th, from 12-4 p.m., where friends, family, and community members will come together to celebrate Richard's memory and bid him farewell.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations in memory of Ricky Tullos to the American Legion Post 618, P.O. Box 554, Willis, Texas 77378.
