Richard Preston Red was born May 5, 1944, in Kilgore to Odell and Virginia Red. He graduated 1962 from Lake Charles High School in Lake Charles, La. Thereafter he proudly enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and was selected by the secretary of the Navy to attend the U.S. Naval Academy, becoming the much-beloved anchorman of the Naval Academy Class of 1969. Richard continued his service career as a Marine Corps helicopter pilot until his honorable discharge in 1981.
He obtained his master's degree at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., and after returning to his much-loved Lafayette, La., became a successful petroleum landman. He loved the game of golf for its challenge, its honor and its camaraderie, finally beating the odds with his hole-in-one on the 10th at Lafayette Municipal Golf Course on April 7, 2007.
Survivors: Daughters, Summer and Sharon; his brother, Edward; wife, Betty; stepchildren, Khia, Tasha, Roger, Renea, Jimmy and Zeki; grandchildren, Melissa, Sarah, Rothman and Will; and the many, many friends, classmates, brothers-in-arms, golf partners and all others who came to share his great love of life and his heroic battle against death.
