In Memory of Richmond Pierce West



My younger brother, Richmond West, which some of you remember fondly by his childhood nickname “Richey,” died of a sudden heart attack early Sunday morning.

He was a gifted professor and writer and a man of Christian faith, and he had a brilliant and beautiful mind. Thankfully, he spent his last day of life with some of the family on a day trip to Montgomery. I was very close to him and will miss him so much.

He was a huge fan of philosophy and theology, Star Trek, Marvel Comics, and Alabama football. 

You will find his obituary, arrangements, and photos of his life and love here.
