He enjoyed being outdoors, horseback riding, hunting, and fishing. Richard had served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War. His time of service included being in Vietnam.

 

Surviving is his daughter, Shanna (Travis) Ezell of Doniphan; sons, Patrick Simpson and Jedidiah Simpson; his brothers, Gary Simpson of Trinidad, CO and John Mark Simpson of Switzerland; and two grandchildren, Cheyenne and Derrick.
