He attended Ruskin High School and continued his education at the University of Missouri earning two degrees in Teaching and Business. Richard taught at West High School in Kansas City, Missouri. In the 80s, he took over his Dad’s auto parts business, Raytown Auto Supply.
Richard was generous and witty, he loved to have a good time and be with friends. He enjoyed playing softball and was an avid croquet nut, even hosting tournaments in his backyard. He loved the Royals, the Chiefs and the MU Tigers. On the weekends, Richard could be found supporting his friends, bellying up to a table of ribs cooked by his favorite BBQ team, Flower of the Flames. Richard was the goofiest, greatest guy that would have done anything for you at anytime.
Richard is preceded in death by his parents, Robert and Deloris Davidson; and Don and Esther Unkenholz.
He is survived by his friends Ronna (Bill) Keck from Kansas City, Kansas; Michael (Janna) Martinez from Independence, Missouri; and Don (Trish) Unkenholz from Joplin, Missouri.
