Posted

Michael P. Richard, a longtime resident and formerly of Warwick passed away at his home in Providence on Monday, June 28, 2021.  On March 14, 1960, in Providence, RI Michael was born the son of the late Philip and Shirley (Elliott) Richard.

Michael worked in construction and had been very involved with body building his entire life. He created many great memories that will be treasured by those he shared them with. His most memorable times were with his daughter. He had also remained good friends with his former wife Diane Richard. Michael was a simple man with simple pleasures in life. He did not care for materialistic items and was completely content with how he lived his life. Some questioned it, and some admired his carefree attitude towards life.

He is survived by two daughters: Trisha (Richard) Jacobs of Warwick, RI and Marissa Hudley of Warwick, RI; three grandchildren: Julian Ames, Jayden Ames and Devyn Jacobs; two brothers: Leonard Richard of Providence, RI and James "Slim" Richard of Narragansett. He is predeceased by his brothers Herbert Swanson and Joseph Swanson.

There will be a memorial gathering at Conimicut Beach on Sunday July 18, 2021 at 7:00 p.m. All friends and family are welcome.
