Richard Metcalf

Richard Metcalf, 61, of La grange, TX (born in Houston) went home to be with the Lord peacefully on Tuesday January 4, 2022 at MD Anderson. Richard is the son of the late Robert and Carmen Metcalf.  Richard has 8 siblings in the Houston area and one sister in La Grange. He was loved and he will be missed dearly by wonderful friends.  Richard was a talented guitar player who was self-taught. He played in bands in his younger years and dreamed of having his own recording studio one day. He loved driving the back roads of Fayette County with his dog Mudbone by his side. He had a kind soul who helped others when needed. Where ever he went he made friends easily. He loved visiting Galveston and hoped to retire there some day. Richard believed in God and said his prayers every day. Richard died knowing that he was loved by his beautiful family and that he had a new life waiting for him in heaven. Richard will be honored and his life will be celebrated in a private family gathering. We are thankful for his presence in our lives. Richard was full of life and was a loving soul to all that knew him. If you would like to make a donation in memory of Richard please send to MD Anderson or Gardenia E.
