Biography

Richard Martin Darr, Jr, was born to Richard Martin Darr, Sr and Elizabeth Frances Darr on February 24, 1948. At the young age of eighteen, he enlisted in the United States Army. He served two tours of duty in Vietnam during the Vietnam war and was honorably discharged from the Army on December 11, 1968. While serving during the Vietnam war, Richard experienced haunting events that stayed with him in his mind and heart until his death on July 5, 1989. It is our hope and prayer that other soldiers get the mental health and addiction help they need upon returning home after serving our Country faithfully. In addition to his mother, brothers, sisters, and countless other family members, Richard left behind five sons: Richard M. Darr, III, Roy W. Darr, Ricardo I. Darr, Raymond L. Darr, and Jeffrey A. Darr. We love you!

My brother

Richard, You were 18 years older than me but you were my big brother. I remember the authority you exuded when you were present. I also know the softness you had in your heart because of the love you had for your sons and all of your family. You would be proud of your sons. I remember watching a movie with you one day and how impactful that was, "Something Wicked This Way comes." Richard, thank you for your service but mostly thank you for being my big brother. Love, Pat
