Richard grew up in Snellville and graduated from South Gwinnett High School in 1997. Richard made many lifelong friends at South including his wife, Michelle. He grew up in Summit Chase where he played tennis and golf, threw parties, and may have been responsible for some damage to the golf course. Richard’s house was the place to be in high school, as Richard had a very large group of devoted friends and the most welcoming parents. In 2001, Richard graduated from the University of Georgia. He loved UGA and was a lifelong supporter of the Dawgs. Richard was a UGA football equipment manager and loved being on the field and traveling with the team in college. After college Richard became a financial advisor, working alongside his dad at Hamilton Financial. In 2018, Richard, Michelle and lifelong friend Andy Mercer took over the family business and were living the dream, working with their best friends every day.

Richard and Michelle were married in November 2003; they shared 18 years of marriage. Richard was the most amazing father to Ella, Vivy, and Price. Richard was a strong Christian and demonstrated the love of Jesus to his family. He loved spending time with his kids and was very involved in their activities. Richard was often at swim meets, cheer competitions, and tball and softball games, cheering them on as their biggest fan.

To know Richard was to love him; he was everyone’s best friend and had dozens of friendships that lasted multiple decades. Richard loved to spend time with family and friends going on annual beach trips with his family, cruises, Disney World, and tailgating. He enjoyed campfires at night, playing poker, and watching the Braves, Falcons, Hawks, and Dawgs play. His infectious smile and laugh will forever be in the hearts of all who knew him.
