Joel David Richards

Joel D. Richards entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior at 3:05 pm, Wednesday, August 5, 2020. He was the adopted son of David and Lois Richards of Huntington, WV. He was 37. Joel was born in Scranton, PA, and came to live with the Richards at 8 mos. Joel loved church, Gospel music, the reading of the Word of God, and preaching. In spite of many physical problems he loved life, and everyone commented on his red hair and beautiful smile. He now has a perfect body. We would tell him that when he went to heaven he would be able to sing, dance, run and play. He seemed to truly appreciate that fact. Joel no longer is suffering. To God be the glory!
