Richard Cragg Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by McLin Funeral Home and Cremation Service on Jan. 9, 2026.
Richard Lee Cragg, born on August 3, 1960, in Mildenhall, Suffolk, England, passed away on January 5, 2026. A longtime resident of Walker, LA, Richard was a devoted father, grandfather, and master mechanic who dedicated his career to Big Chief Automotive LLC, where his passion for automobiles shone through in every task he undertook.

Richard was a man of many passions. He had an enduring love for his Doberman Pinschers, who were not just pets but cherished companions. An avid NASCAR enthusiast, he spent countless hours following the races, reveling in the excitement of speed and competition. His love for mechanics extended beyond work; it was a true vocation that brought him joy and fulfillment.

He is survived by his beloved daughter, Kayla Patrick, and son-in-law, Keith Patrick, along with his cherished grandchildren, Jason and Avery Patrick. Richard's legacy will live on in the hearts of those who knew him for his kindness, dedication, and the unforgettable moments shared with family and friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend Richard's Celebration of Life service at Christ's Community Church in Denham Springs on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at 4:00 PM. Arrangements have been entrusted to McLin Funeral Home. Online condolences may be shared at www.mclinfuneralhome.com
