Richard Herron Steed

Richard was a member of Madison Baptist Church in Madison Hall where he was an avid member of the choir and the Men’s Sunday School Class. Richard had a small lawn care and landscaping business. He was devoted to his vocation and his clients and continued working almost up to his death. He had a passion for animals especially dogs, cats, and wild birds. He enjoyed gardening and harvesting the labor of his hands.

He is survived by his brother Paul Steed; sisters, Barbara Steed, Onedda Gregory, Judy Ranne, Bonnie Steed, and Rose McCaferty as well as a number of nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his mother Dorothy Steed; his father, Willis H Steed; and his siblings, Willis C. (Leroy) Steed, Margaret Cupples, Delbert Steed, Robert Steed, and Fonda Jetton.

He will be missed by his family, friends, and the Madison Hall Community.

Active pallbearers to serve will be Will Bell, Terry King, Jeff McCormick, Mike Mikkelsen, David Prince, and Danny Scott.

The family requests donations in Richard's memory be directed to the American Cancer Society.
