Junior Richardson

(From Parker Mortuary)

Charles “Junior” Richardson, born in Leitchfield, Kentucky, resident of Joplin, Missouri, found his place in Heaven on the evening of April 8th, 2023. Junior was born on February 18th, 1997 to his parents Charles Richardson and Stacy Westfall who preceded him in death.

Junior spent much of his time customizing his yellow Grom or riding around town with a multitude of his biker friends. Spongebob was his favorite with Spongebob and Patrick tattooed on his legs it perfectly matched his goofy personality. 

Junior grew up with a fascination for semi-trucks that followed into adulthood and he would frequently photograph or point out ones he thought were neat. Junior loved God and a verse he liked was John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

Junior never met a stranger, only new friends; he had a kind heart and would’ve given the shirt off his back to anyone in need. Those that were fortunate enough to truly know him for the time that he was given will never forget him and hold tight to the abundance of good memories shared so that he may live on through them.

Junior is survived by many that loved him including his father, brothers Chris and Dennis Richardson, and Brad Crain, sisters Casey Richardson, Erica Turner, aunt and uncle Tina Carlton and Kenneth Carlton, aunts Cheri Mills, Jessica Shinn, uncle Larry Anderson, Grandmother Cathy Darnell, cousins Cody Carlton, and Heather Hurst, and many others.
