Helping Families and Friends Honor Their Loved One

Richard Charles Berry, age 61

Richard Charles Berry, born to Barbara and George, on February 10, 1963, in Little Rock, Arkansas, passed away on October 22, 2024. He was 61 years old.

Richard is survived by his beloved children, Haley and Baley, and his sister Beth. His legacy is extended to his grandchildren—Brooke, Calee, Hadley, and Kaleb—as well as to his great-grandchild Maverick, all of whom he cherished deeply. He also embraced his bonus children, Donnie (DJ), Marsha, Ashley, and Alisha, with whom he shared a special bond. His family extended far beyond blood relations to many loved ones, including lifelong friends Sharon, Michelle, Stickney, Rock, Amy, and numerous other relatives and friends who were fortunate to know him.

A man of many hats, Richard lived a life defined by his hustle and tenacity. He weathered life’s storms with resilience, always treating others with kindness and respect, just as he wished to be treated. To meet Richard was to never forget him; his presence was unmistakable and irreplaceable. Whether through lively conversation, a hearty laugh, or the quiet moments of genuine connection, Richard left an indelible mark on those who crossed his path. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who had the pleasure of knowing him, through the countless sweet, vibrant, and important moments they shared. Richard’s legacy is one of love, strength, and a life lived fully, and he will be profoundly missed.

He is preceded in death by his mother Barbara, his father George, his bonus father William Phillips, his brother Georgie, and his wife Rhonda.

A family-hosted celebration of Richard’s life will be held at Immanuel Baptist Church in Carlisle, Arkansas on November 1st, 2024 at 11:00AM.

    What am I ever going to do without you? My heart is so broken it’s so unreal. I can’t seem to wrap my mind around it that you’ll no longer be here. I’ve been with you since I was a very young girl, we had a beautiful daughter together. Our LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP NO ONE WOULD EVER UNDERSTAND EXCEPT US. I’ve cried so many tears since you left. I just keep asking myself how do I do life without you? I’m going to miss you so much. You impacted my life so much along with so many other people’s. One thing for sure whoever had the pleasure of meeting you they never will forget you. All the believable and unbelievable stories you told. But one thing for sure you made people laugh. We have so many wonderful memories together and that is one thing I will cherish forever. I will meet you at the tree again one day and I know you will have your arms opened wide. So until then remember I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND ALWAYS!💯💋😇
