Richard was born in Braymer, Missouri to Edward Lee and Eva Irene (Hawkins) Voyles on July 6, 1954. Richard would graduate from Winnetonka High School with the Class of 1972.
Many would know Richard as the owner of Richard Voyles Construction, LLC. in the Northland for 37 years. His family describes him as a good man that would put everyone before himself. Richard was a creative and talented carpenter; he loved to work, tinker, fix, and be busy working on small or large projects for family or friends.
Deer Season was Richard’s favorite time of the year and he had not missed an opening day since the age of 13. The Family Farm was the place he enjoyed most both hunting and spending time. He took pride in building his second home there and if he was not hunting, he was driving around on his John Deere Tractor.
Richard was preceded in death by his parents and his brother, Larry Voyles.
Survivors include his wife of 45 years, Celeste; his sons, Nathan (Kris) Pare` and Ryan (Nichole) Voyles; his sister, Beverly (Jim) Mulkey; eight grandchildren; five great grandchildren; his beloved charcoal lab, Chelsea; a niece; and two nephews as well as many friends and loved ones who all will miss him.
