Richard Earl Strickland

He was born March 11, 1949, in Waycross, Georgia.

Richard was preceded in death by his father, James Gillis Strickland and mother, Lavonia Rewis Strickland, several sisters, one brother, and a step-son, Carlton Bird Persall, III.

Richard is survived by his wife, Brenda Strickland, daughters; Teresa Strickland (Timmy), Toni Bennett (Jeff), Tammy Dennison, (Troy), and April Rooks. Nine grandchildren; Kelly, Brooke, Cameron, Tori, Katelyn, Aiden, Damon, Rylee, and Hailey. Several great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews. All of whom he loved very much.

He was known as Richie by his wife and "Bullett" by his sister-in-law, Lori. He was dedicated to his family and a hard worker. Throughout his working years, he held many titles; handyman, mechanic, electrician, and plumber. The two that meant the most to him, though, were husband and father.

Richie's hobbies were motorcycles, old cars, antiques, guns and flamingos.
