Richardson of New Philadelphia, a step-son Ricky Byrd of Sherrodsville, a brother, Larry (Julia) Richardson of Glenrose, Texas and a sister Mrs. Betty (Jimmie) Herrera of Fort Worth, five grandchildren Zakery Kale Richardson, Haeven Danielle Richardson, Hadyn Lee Richardson, and Gavin Kole Richardson, all of Weatherford, Texas and Layla Byrd of Sherrodsville.
In accordance with his wishes, he will be cremated and his ashes will be returned to Texas for burial with his family. No services other than a private family visitation will be observed. The Baxter-Gardner Funeral Home at Sherrodsville is handling arrangements. To leave an online condolence message please visit the funeral home website.
