Just one month after we laid my father to rest, our hearts were broken again with the loss of my cousin, Richard D. Colbert II. The timing of his passing made the grief heavier, but it also reminded us how closely woven our family is—here on earth and beyond.
Richard was a man who loved his family deeply and without condition. His loyalty, strength, and presence were felt by all who knew him. Music was part of his soul, a constant companion that spoke when words were not needed. He also traveled the seas, living a life marked by experience, discipline, and purpose.
He was a no-nonsense man—steady, straightforward, and true to himself. What you saw was what you got, and what you got was someone dependable, strong, and real.
Though his absence is painful, his spirit lives on in the memories we cherish, the music that reminds us of him, and the love he poured into his family. Rest well, Richard. You are loved, you are missed, and you will never be forgotten.
