Lester
Alan (Bear) Richardson II, 21, of Eaton, IN, died Thursday February 20th,
at his home.
He was
born at Ball Hospital in Muncie on July 23, 1992 to Lester Alan and Laura Ann
(Stotler) Richardson. Bear attended Delta High School. He was a good and loyal
friend, a beloved brother and son, and a favorite uncle. Never known as Lester,
he was called ‘baby Bear,’ ‘brother Bear,’ ‘the bear’ – many did not even know
his given name, he will always be remembered as Bear. He will be missed for his
humor, his easy going attitude, and his warm presence. The youngest of nine
children, he completed our family and his absence will forever leave an empty
place.
Bear is
survived by his parents, by eight siblings Michael Richardson of Eaton, Shushan
Richardson of Ukraine, TJ (Janet) Richardson of Marion, Robert Richardson of
Nashville, Timothy (Emily) Richardson of Austin, Kandice Richardson of
Nashville, Kimberly (Drew) Riddle of Eaton, and Katelynn (Eric) Hall of Eaton,
by 14 nieces and nephews Isaiah, Reed and Emily Richardson; Mikela, Grace and
Kara Richardson; Nicholas and Natasha White; Drew, Robert and Seth Richardson;
Abbygail and Andrew Riddle, and Noah Hall; and by grandfather Larry Stotler, loving
Aunts, Uncles, Cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his paternal
Grandparents Robert and Beverly (Moser) Richardson and
maternal Grandmother Marilyn (Feltt) Stotler.
Services will be held on Monday,
February 24, 2014 at 1:00 P.M. at Pitman-Richman Funeral Home, 200 S. Hartford
St., Eaton. Burial will follow in Union Cemetery. He will be laid to rest near
