Richard Barnett Stuckey's Obituary
On December 11, 2020, Richard Barnett Stuckey, age 84, of Longview, Texas was reunited with the love of his life after a brief 8-day separation. He was born in Henderson, Texas on June 30, 1936. Richard loved the Lord, his beloved wife of 61 years, his two daughters, and being Papa to his grandchildren, great grandchildren, and foster daughter.
He loved his country and retired after 20 years of service in the United States Air Force. He was a long-time member of Walnut Creek Baptist Church in Diana, Tx. He served Warren City as a council member as well as several years as a board of director for the Gladewater Round-Up Rodeo Association.
A humble, gentle, loving, and giving hero to his family. He led by example showing the love and compassion of Jesus to everyone who knew him. His love and adoration of his beautiful wife was a testimony of the true meaning of the marriage covenant as God intends. It was a known fact among his family that he raised the bar very high when it came to caring for his wife and family.
He felt his purpose in this life was to care for his wife. He was able to provide that love and care until her redeemed soul very recently departed.
A legacy of love and commitment to family is left to be celebrated by his adoring children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. He was our hero.
He is survived by his daughter, Kerri Wells and her husband Kevin; daughter, Susan Kennedy and her husband Micky; grandchildren, Lacy Eaton and her husband Jacob; Kyle Williams and his wife Angela; Kara Vickers; Kallee Meyer and her husband Keith; Keaton Wells; great grandchildren, Peyton, Brali, Maddy, Jake, Maggie, Hank, Cameron, Beau, Maysen, and Cooper; and nieces, nephews, and other loving family members and friends.
