Memorial Book

Unexpectedly at his home on 12th April 2025, Richard, aged 40 years, of Blackburn. The much-loved son of the late Linda and the late Rickson, brother of Jason, and a dearly loved nephew, uncle, cousin and close friend.

A kind and caring gentleman, Richard always stayed connected with his family. He had a deep love for the outdoors and was often found enjoying long walks in the fresh air, especially around Fishmoor Reservoir, where he was a familiar face. He was a fan of action films and never tired of watching his favourite TV shows, Friends and Doctor Who. Richard also had a wonderfully creative side and he could spend hours crafting intricate matchstick models, proudly building impressive replicas such as Blackpool Tower and The Big Wheel.

Richard was truly loved by all who knew him. He will be deeply missed but fondly remembered always.

Family flowers only, please. Donations in Richard’s memory are being gratefully received in support of the North West Air Ambulance.
