Richard currently worked at The Home Depot leading the Merchandise Execution Team. He also met many of his lifelong friends through his previous employment at The Other Place and Property Management with Apogee New Dawn and Brookside Properties Richard never met a stranger. He enjoyed spending time with friends, singing karaoke, and dancing whenever and wherever the mood struck him (which was often). Richard enjoyed going on many adventures, whether it be zip lining or vacations to fun locations. After spending the majority of his life in Nashville and Murfreesboro, Tennessee, he returned to Kentucky almost a year ago, with Gene, where he found his perfect little place in this world; a little house, lots of land, and a front porch to sit on and take it all in with his favorite dogs by his side. A graveside service for Mr. Cloyd will be held 3:00 PM Saturday, September 17th at the Glasgow Municipal Cemetery with Rev. Steve Williams officiating. Richard will be laid to rest alongside both, his mother and father. There will be a separate celebration of life in Richard's honor in Nashville, Tennessee so that all his many friends can get together to share stories and love for Richard. A. F. Crow & Son is honored to be entrusted in the care of Mr. Cloyd. Please share your condolences with the family at www.crowfuneralhome.com.
