Our precious Denver Wayne Richards, age 5 months, from Prosper, Texas, went home to be with the Lord on January 29th, 2024. Denver was born August 3rd, 2023 to mother Elizabeth Ann Beard and father Michael Dean Richards.
He is survived by his parents, Michael and Elizabeth, and 3 older brothers, River Dean Richards, Roczen Wayne Richards, and Journey Reid Richards; grandparents Laura Beard and Steve of Prosper, Byron Beard and Robin of Pottsboro, Debbie Davis of Irving, Ricky Dean Richards; great grandparents Carolyn Marotti and David, Denver Harold Richards, Shirley Beard, Gary Wayne Redfearn and Marguerite, and Murphy Lee Dunn; aunts and uncles Branden Richards, Doug Davis, Ryan Beard and Bethany, Emily Beard and Rolando. Preceded in death by great grandmother Connie Jo Dunn and great grandfather Joe Gordon Beard.
Denver was born with the heart of a warrior, and was loved deeply by everyone that crossed his path. Though he was little, he was fierce, and showed everyone around him what the true meaning of bravery, perseverance, and grit is. His time with us was short, but his memory will live in our hearts forever and his story will never go untold. We find comfort in knowing he is HOME with God, the Almighty Father and Protector, and our baby boy is finally at peace.
