Kirke Richbourg Jr. Obituary

Kirke Monroe (Roe) Richbourg, Jr entered eternal peace at the age of 58 with his Lord and Savior on November 29, 2025 after a sudden and unexpected illness at home. Roe was born to Blair Little and Kirke M. Richbourg, Sr. on February 26, 1967 in Pensacola, Florida. He attended Washington High School and graduated from the Pensacola School of Liberal Arts.

Roe was a man of many talents and he wore many hats during his lifetime on this earth. He tended to take the road less traveled and more often than not dove head first into whatever project was on his list of things to do and immersed himself whole-heartedly in whatever he did.

As a teenager, Roe and his friends built a motorcycle track in the backyard for riding their bikes motocross style. As an adult, he was a chef who worked his way from line cook to sous chef to master chef to owning his own restaurant and managing many employees.

Roe was a pecan farmer who managed hundreds of trees and overseeing close to 600 acres at one time. He planted corn, wheat, soybeans, set up pivots, managed timber harvests, negotiated timber sales and met with buyers/brokers for commodity sales. He was an accomplished welder, built large commercial steel buildings (sometimes all by himself, start to finish), designed the buildings and their layout (and NOT from a kit), taught himself electrical engineering and the mechanics of vehicles and serviced all the farm trucks and tractors.

Roe’s most recent project was to build duck boats from molds. He was almost ready to pop out his first boat in December but life took a turn no one expected.

Roe enjoyed hunting deer, turkey and especially ducks (the reason for building the duck boats). He enjoyed the water and beach life and loved to travel back to Pensacola to fish with his friends and commiserate on “old times”. Roe was a son, a brother, a step-father and a devoted husband.

Roe predeceased his wife, Debra Livadas, brother Eric Saxon Richbourg (Melisa & Noah) and his mother Blair Little Stephenson. He also left behind many cousins, aunts and uncles. Roe’s father, Kirke M. Richbourg, Sr. preceded him in death March 25, 2024.

Roe will be missed by many as he made an impression on everyone he met and everywhere he went. Godspeed Roe Daddy!
