Richard was a man of quiet strength and humble character. He lived his life day by day, always grounded in his belief in God and in the importance of family. He found great joy in the simple pleasures—dancing, socializing with friends and family, hunting, fishing, and traveling. A lover of life, Richard was also known for his generous spirit, often performing acts of kindness for those around him.

One of Richard's greatest sources of pride was his role as a father and grandfather. He was deeply devoted to his children and grandchildren, and his proudest accomplishment was purchasing a ranch, a place where his family could come together and create lasting memories. Richard fell in love with his soulmate Virginia “Vicky” , who stood by him through thick and thin for 64 years. Their partnership was a testament to love, loyalty, and mutual support, and Vicky was always there for him with unwavering care and devotion.

In addition to his love for family, Richard enjoyed a long and successful career that spanned over 60 years. His proudest professional achievement was his retirement from Clear Channel, an advertising company where he spent many years, dedicating himself to the craft with integrity and loyalty.He continuously and diligently was with the same structure until it was bought out by fortune 500 business.

Richard will reunite in heaven with his parents; Crespin and Isabel Yanes, his grandparents; Hijinio Yanes and Simona Ochoa, Julio Rios and Inez Morales, and his brother; Gilbert Yanes.
