Richard Howard Dunahoo

Richard Howard Dunahoo of Gatesville was made whole, and went to his Heavenly Home on Thursday, December 17, 2020, at the age of 68 after a short battle with cancer. He was surrounded by his family at home. Richard was born, January 19, 1952, in Lawton, Oklahoma to Christian Redamar and Zeola Whisman Dunahoo, Sr. Being born into a military family, Richard always had a great love for the military and his country. He proudly served in the U.S. military in several capacities, ending his military career in the U. S. Air Force. He was a very proud U.S. veteran and was quick to tell you “I’d do it all over again” and always wearing his Vietnam Veteran cap. Richard loved to ride around in his buggy on the property and burn brush, fish and scratch lottery tickets. He will be greatly missed by many. Richard was preceded in death by his parents, sister; Shirley Dunahoo Nichols and brother; C. R. Dunahoo, Jr. Left to cherish many memories of Richard are his sisters, Marsey Rauschenberg and husband, Bryan, Brenda Marshall and husband, Kelly, Judy Woods and husband, Larry; brother, James Dunahoo; nephews, Jarrod, Nicholas, Davy, Rocky, Will and David; nieces, Valeria, Shaila, Vonda, Krystin, Mindy and Teryn; ten great nephews; 11 great nieces; and many friends and his extended family in Kentucky that he loved dearly. No services are scheduled. Private family burial will take place at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your favorite charity or spend time with your family.
