Richard Charles Brannon passed away peacefully, but unexpectedly, on May 8, 2008 in Frisco, Texas. He was born in Queens, New York in 1951, but eventually settled in Texas where his life was defined by an unbounded love of his wife, Lori, and his intense work ethic. For relaxation, he preferred the diversion of working with computers, which tested his patience and attention to detail. Nowhere was this more obvious than his skillful work with digital video and images. His knowledge of trivia was unsurpassed and he frequently amazed friends and family with his instant recall of facts. Richard was preceded in death by his mother Marie, and father James. He is survived by his wife Lori, mother-in-law Bobby, brother-in-law Randy, brother Robert, sister-in-law Vicki and nephew Chris. Richard is dearly loved and will be greatly missed by both family and friends. Services will be held at Turrentine-Jackson-Morrow Funeral Home in Frisco, Texas on Wednesday May 14th at 2:00pm. For those wishing to make contributions in Richard’s honor, the family suggests the American Heart Association or any charity of their choice.
