It is with both a smile and a heavy heart that we remember Richard Valdez, who brought so much laughter and love into the world during his life from July 30, 1984, to November 24, 2025. Richard was truly a person who loved to laugh, sharing his joyful spirit freely with all who knew him.

Richard's days were often brightened by the simple pleasures of life, especially time spent with his beloved family. He was a loyal and loving individual, known for his very smart mind and his dedication to those he cared for. When he wasn't enjoying family moments, Richard could often be found immersed in the world of Call of Duty, a testament to his playful spirit. He also held a deep desire for sobriety, a path he approached with strength and resolve.

He leaves behind a loving legacy in his four children. Richard was also a cherished brother to his twin brother, another brother, and his sister. His presence, marked by his unique blend of intelligence, loyalty, and loving nature, will be profoundly missed.

Richard's memory will continue to inspire smiles and warmth, a testament to a life lived with a joyful spirit and an abundance of love.
