His legacy will live on through his children, Veronica (Jose), Nancy (Robert), Timothy (Kristina), and his grandchildren, AnnMarie, Marc, Faythe, Riann, Gavin, Isabella, and David. He is also leaving behind his siblings, Santiago “Jimmy”, Reymundo “Rey”, George, Manuel, Gene, Gerald, Belinda, Norma plus several nieces, nephews, and many friends he met along the way.

A Funeral Mass will take place at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 1421 S. 12th Street, Phoenix, on Friday, July 17, 2020 at 11:30 a.m. with Burial to follow at St. Francis Catholic Cemetery.

    My prayers to the whole while family, the children and grandchildren he left behind. I still find it hard to believe he isn’t here. I’ll miss his messages and gifs he would send me. He truly was a loving guy. He is resting now in heaven…In peace. May God give the family strength in this difficult time.

    Richard and I reconnected via Facebook because of our insomnia. I am grateful to have had his friendship. I am his cousin. My Father, Jesus Leon, younger brother of Richard’s Mom Carmen. Which means, I too worked at Briceno’s.
    I loved Richard’s sarcastic wit, kind heart and genuine love of family. He will forever be in my heart.

    Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Richard, I now see where Veronica gets her kind eyes, her great smile and undoubtedly her great heart and spirit. At times in my life when I feel sad and need strength, I envision Jesus walking beside me with his strong arm around my shoulder telling me He is there to lean on. May you all feel His comfort and lean on His strength.

    Please accept my condolences. Although I live thousands of miles away from Chandler, Veronica told us much about her dear father – Richard and how they live together these years. I was touched when Richard was severe, he cared deeply about his children and grandchildren. I know that he will happy and have peace wherever he is now.
    God is Big Enough. He will be deeply missed and will always be in my heart.
