He was preceded in death by his parents, Thurman and Anna Elizabeth Richards; his siblings, Evelyn Jacobs, Martha Perkins, Eddie Booth, Kenny Ray Richards, Jerry Richards, and Betty Lee Richards.
Cowboy is survived by his loving wife, Bonnie Richards; his daughters, Chrystal Lymes and Kandy Hall; his grandchildren, Jonathan Hall, Dylan Crowder, Autumn Crowder, Emily Lymes and Faith Lymes; his great-grandchildren, Peyton, Wyatt, and Gage Hall.
