Thank you to all who had such wonderful things to say about my father. He was truly one of the best fathers a son could ask for! I will try to live my life in honor of him by following his example of being kind, tender hearted, patient, and willing to give all my love to those closest to me. Thank you to Paige and her family for the love and care they showed my father. You will always hold a special place in my heart. God bless! 

Richard was the kindness, sweetest and funniest guy I've ever known. He also loved his wife and family dearly and was extremely dedicated to all his friends. We will miss him but take comfort in knowing he is with his Heavenly Father.

Thoughts and prayers for my dear cousin Paige and the Lovvorn family.  Richard was a very special man who always put others before himself.  He was the most kindhearted, sensitive and funny guy.  I am blessed to have been a part of his life. I miss you and love you so much Richard. Rest in peace my precious friend.

I have wonderful memories of Richard. He loved life, and he showed it through his kind, happy, loving spirit. I was blessed to have Richard in my life.

Richard was a joy to know. The love he and Paige had was a true love. They love the same things. Miss you .

I had the pleasure of knowing Richard as he was married to my cousin Paige. I fell in love with him the moment I saw them together and I knew that they were meant for one other. Richard was a ray of light and had such an incredible sense of humor.  He was such a blessing to Paige and our family.

I am so thankful that God sent Richard into our family. Will always cherish the happy family times we had together. Miss you so much Richard. Bear chasing will never be the same.

What a pleasure it was to know such a kind and generous man. I will always be thankful to him for teaching me how to play doubles tennis and for being such a great husband to my sweet cousin, Paige.
Missed by many.

I love you and miss you everyday. A part of me is gone and will never be replaced. I miss your sweet tender heart, your kindness, and love??. You will always be with me I love and miss you, your loving wife Paige

Sorry for your loss of love one. May your heart find peace and comfort at Matthew 11:28,29,30,

Paige you are in our prayers along with Richard's children and grands. I know he will be missed by all of you. You were blessed to have him in your life. The slide show showed just how vibrant he was enjoying life and his family. He leaves behind a beautiful, sweet wife and wonderful looking family.

It was a pleasure to work with Coach Lovvorn at Bessemer Academy. I had the utmost respect for him and thought of him as a friend. He will be missed.

Richard was my roommate at Snead Jr. College. He was a great roommate. He even had me playing tennis. Class of 1965. Paul Moore

So thankful he was part of our family. He was a wonderful man and husband. Paige is lucky to have found her true love! We will miss you.

I remember "Coach" Lovvorn with fondness. He was a wonderful man, dedicated to his students, faculty and friends. When I think of him I see his smile. He was so funny and easy to talk to. It was a pleasure working with him.

Paige you are truly in my thoughts and prayers . I am so sorry for your loss.

"Coach" Lovvorn was Headmaster at Bessemer Academy when I taught there - I've never known a man more committed to the students and teachers - he was loved and respected by all of us. The news of his passing is sad indeed.  May you be blessed with dear memories.  I have many, and cherish them.

The Richard I knew was such a handsome, kind and joyful man - such a pleasure to be around.  Thank you for sharing the pictures of Richard and of Shannon and Justin when they were young.  It brings back such wonderful memories of them, Aunt Rebecca and Uncle Joe on the dairy farm.
