William "Earl" Richards, age 84, of Irondale, Alabama passed away on Saturday, September 20, 2025. He was preceded in death by his parents, Abemlish Richards and Georgia Richards Cotton, his brothers, Herbert Arnett and Lindward Richards, and his son, Keith Monroe Richards. He is survived by his lovely wife, Rosetta Lindsey Richards, son, Mark Allen Richards, granddaughter, Stella Penelope Richards, and so many wonderful nieces and nephews.
Earl Richards never met a stranger. He was quick to lend a hand if someone needed help. He loved the Lord, and he loved his family, and you didn't have to twist his arm to get him to go fishing. At his best, he had a joy that was infectious, and an amazing love for life. He will be missed.
