Richard D. Berry

A dedicated veteran, Richard served his country with honor in the United States Army. Beyond his service, he was a pillar of strength and love for his family, embodying the essence of fatherhood in caring for his children and ensuring their well-being.

Richard's adventurous spirit took him to every corner of the United States and beyond, exploring the wonders of the world and fulfilling dreams that many only aspire to achieve. He could often be found on the roads, riding his beloved Harley Davidson Motorcycle.

Left to cherish his memory are his devoted wife of 53 years, Jeannie Gussman Berry, along with his loving children: Jeff Berry, Jeanette Berry, Margaret Jarrett and her husband Derek, Mike Liner and his wife Lynn, Greg Liner and his significant other, Bridgett A. Richard, and Paula Coussou and her husband Brent. He will also be fondly remembered by his grandchildren: Nikki, Kiefer, Kloe', and Anjelica; and great-grandchildren: Robbie, Keifer, Benson, with Kavi and Khi soon to join.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Cecil and Jessie Berry, his daughter-in-law Kristi Liner, his grandchild Miles Liner, and two brothers.

The family invites friends and well-wishers to honor Richard's life during a visitation on Saturday, June 8, 2024, from 9 am until the commencement of services at 10 am at Hargrave Funeral Home. Military honors will accompany his graveside service at Morgan City Cemetery, presented by the East St. Mary Veteran Funeral Squad.

In reverence for Richard's cherished wife, the family kindly requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in his memory to a charity of choice.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff at Legacy Nursing Rehabilitation Center and St. Joseph Hospice for their unwavering support and care during his final days. Your dedication brought comfort and solace to Richard and his loved ones, and your kindness will always be remembered with deep appreciation.
