Richard Allen Skeets of Pulaski, Tennessee passed away Sunday December 25, 2022, at his home in Giles County. He was born in Pulaski, Tennessee on March 9, 1970 and was 52 years old.
Richie had many hobbies and interests. He liked to hunt, fish, grow tomatoes that he never ate because he didn’t like tomatoes, but enjoyed giving them away, cook and he spent hours upon hours listening to the music of his childhood as he was an extreme cool music connoisseur. He was a friend to all that met him and had a kind, generous heart. He absolutely loved to laugh, make people laugh and had the best sense of humor. He was always quick with a kind word or to make you laugh if you were feeling down. Richard adored his family and they adored him right back. They will miss him greatly for the rest of their days.
