Michael Duwayne Richard was born on January 28, 1973 to the late Stanley Richard and Patricia
Willbanks. The family is sad to announce his passing on April 19, 2021 at the age of 48.
Michael was best remembered by his kids for his love of home cooking and grilling for his kids.
Their favorite was his special recipe for chicken and homemade spaghetti. He also loved playing
ball in the yard and riding them on 4 wheelers. The best memory was his mad dance skills and
doing the worm with his kids on his back. Michael was loved deeply by his kids and he loved
them more than anything and stated that every time he called.
He will be dearly missed by his three children, Malaya (Preston) Monk, Braelon Richard, and
Trace Richard. He is also survived by his brother, Jackie Richard.
Michael had a private visitation with his three children following his passing. There will also be a
private service at a later date. Due to the unexpected death of Michael, the family is requesting
financial assistance with the funeral expenses in lieu of flowers. Donations can be made to “The
Children of Michael Richard” at Bank Independent in Moulton, Alabama. Parkway Funeral Home assisting the family.
