Richard Booker Obituary

Published by Legacy on Sep. 18, 2025.
Richard Booker, age 64, passed away on September 11, 2025. He was born on May 24, 1961, in Tillatoba, Mississippi. Richard was a proud graduate of Academy High School. He had a lifelong passion for gymnastics, bodybuilding, and wrestling, and he worked as a laborer in a hammer mill along with holding various jobs throughout his life. Richard was known for his free spirit- he truly walked to the beat of his own drum. Above all, he cherished spending time with his family and friends.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Mille Frost and Earnest Anderson; his brother, Sid Booker; and his nephews, Robert Daniels, John Silva and Johnny Booker. Richard is survived by his daughter, Teesha Weems-Booker; his grandsons, Daniel Mitchell and Apollo Weems; seven sisters, Annie L. Daniels, Diane Booker, and Rosie Booker, all of Erie, PA; Josephine Martin (Ted) of Coffeeville, MS; Nettie Dye (Anthony), Lurine Booker, and Mae Booker, all of Memphis, TN: and three brothers, Sid Booker, John Booker, and James Booker.

He also leaves behind a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and many lifelong friends. The family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to the team at LECOM Hospice for the compassionate care and support

they provided and the House of Paradise Cremation & Funeral Services Inc.
