Garrison Carida is sad to announce the Loss of one of its own. Chris Richards SL-1078, 32 year old husband and father of three beautiful daughters passed away this week from unexpected natural causes. Chris and his wife Abbey are both members of Garrison Carida, and this loss is profoundly felt not only by Chris and Abbey’s family, but by their extended family here at Carida as well!
Chris joined the 501st Legion almost a decade ago, shortly after he and Abbey volunteered their time at a hospital visit at the Children’s’
Chris’ role in life was to make people smile. Whether it was at home with his wife and kids, at work with his beloved clients, or out at a charity event with the stormtroopers, Chris was there with great heart, great spirit, and great focus on making people smile. Whether handing a sick child a toy, cracking jokes with friends, or braving the heat in costume to make folks smile at a charity walk, Chris was there smiling, giving of himself, and making those around him feel warmth through his charitable spirit and his keen sense of humor. Chris was a dedicated dad, a loving husband, and a great friend to all who knew him. He was selfless, he was a ham, and he enjoyed life.
Our beloved friend SL-1078 of the 501st Legion will be missed dearly. He was taken from all of us too quickly, but the ripples of the lives he touched, and smiles he shared will resonate with us forever. Chris even earned an award for his service to the community from the 501st Legion's Garrison Carida. Chris turned his love of Star Wars into a mission of service in spreading smiles across the galaxy!
