He was born in Louisville, Kentucky on October 4, 1948, to the late Rudolph Milby and Bernida Elmore Milby. Richard was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend. He was a free spirit, who found peace on the open road and joy under the open sky. Whether riding down backroads on his motorcycle or being outdoors he lived for the adventure and beauty of the world around him. One of his greatest joys was being a Harley Owners Group (HOG), Derby City Chapter member (# and Virgil). He was also a member of the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels. His memory will be cherished by all who knew and loved him. Richard was preceded in death by his parents, Rudolph and Bernida Milby
He is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Denise Milby; sons, Richard Milby and Matthew Milby; grandchild, Matthew Keeling; sisters, Liz Wakefield (Ron), Wanda Riddle (Ray), and Becky Sorrell (Don); along with many other friends.
