Richard, a hardworking and devoted man, passed away, leaving behind a legacy of dedication to his family. He built a career in the mobile home industry, ensuring his loved ones and extended family were always provided for.

Alongside his wife, he lovingly cared for his great nephews Royton Williams and Jayden Broussard, and great niece Serenity Broussard. He will be deeply missed by his loving nephew, Desmond Broussard, and all who knew him.

He leaves to cherish in his memory: his mother, Velma Ruth Robinson; daughter, Kenisha Broussard Simpson (Brandon Simpson); Sons, Damon Broussard; and Richard Faniel, Jr. Granddaughters', Nahla Simpson; and Naaja Simpson. His siblings, Van Faniel; Lawerence Faniel (Abigail Faniel); Jeffery Faniel; and Tonja Brantley. Brother-in-laws, James C. Broussard; Brian K. Broussard; and sister-in-law, Katrinea D.
