Stephen Lee “Steve”Richardson

"The fifteen years I spent in Monticello Steve was my closest friend. I truly had the utmost respect for him. A true man of God. We had many conversations I always left inspired and comforted with his knowledge. He was always there ready to help when needed if you were willing to do your part .

My condolences are with the family. I will miss our phone calls. I look forward visiting with him when I get there."

"Steve was one of those people you never forgot. He was a great leader. Loved his family. His leadership was strategic in the development of the ATPA."

"Mr. Steve,
We just wanted to say what a pleasure it was to be able to enjoy the time we spent together. The Lord blessed us with years of friendship and good times with each other. We will miss you so very much and will always remember the marvelous times we had, not just in a duck hole or the turkey woods, but just being by a camp fire or dinner table listening to your stories, advice and the wisdom you shared with us. You truly were one of a kind. We may not have always limited out or filled our tags but we always left with more than we deserved. We won’t say goodbye, just we will see you next season.
We would like to extend our prayers and deepest sympathies to Mrs. Debra, Stevie and the rest of the family. We also want to thank you all for sharing him with us because he definitely made us feel like we were part of his family.

With love and prayers,
The Georgia Boys"

"A life well lived Steve lived his life leaving a positive impact on many of us as an outdoorsman and Christ follower. It mattered not who you were or your station in life. As long as you loved to hunt and were willing to work at it, he was always a glad and willing mentor. Whether it was a timber deal, a Duck hunt or your walk with God, you learned a lot from Mr. Richardson from his attention to detail. He knew attending to the little things yielded big results. They don't make em' like him anymore. Our thoughts and prayers are and will be with you, dear family."

"I am so sorry to hear this! My thoughts and prayers are with your family Dr. Tim much love from Texas"

"Steve and family are lifted up in prayer by all the Martins’. Steve took my dad and I on some legendary duck hunts over the years and made a point to support our family business on a regular basis. He leaves quite the legacy and countless great memories for those that had the opportunity to know and spend time with him. May Gods love and blessings be upon the family and comfort them during this difficult time.

The Martins’ (David, Crystal, Bryan, Sue, and Laura)"

"Prayers for the family I sure enjoyed his conversations about duck hunting at Fisher's Store in Mcgehee while waiting for his food too be cooked"

"I send my deepest sympathy to all of Steve’s family and friends. We were classmates and friends from WHS Class of 1968. He was a favorite of all of us, not to mention being voted Most Handsome when we were seniors. I know the loss that you feel and hope that eventually you will smile through the tears and remember the good times. My prayers are with you."

"To all of Steve's family, I am so sorry for your loss!! I know you will miss him. A lot of us will miss him also. Steve and I go back many years with many great memories. To many to list. I considered him a good friend and always will. May God Bless you all! You will continue to be in my prayers.
A friend..... Bart

"I wanted to send my condolences to the Richardson family. Steve was the first “big guy” I knew as he dated my oldest sister. He used to scare me ALL the time. I have nothing but the fondest memories of Steve. RIP"
