The Bakersfield Californian 
Richardson, Jef C.     
1963 - 2005 
 
Jef C. Richardson 
Mar. 22, 1963 - Sept. 25, 2005 

Jef was born in Bakersfield, California on March 22, 1963 to parents Aaron and 
Shirley Richardson. He was raised in Bakersfield and graduated from North 
High. After graduating from high school Jef moved to Fresno on a rodeo 
scholarship and received his B.S. Degree in Agricultural Business at 
California State University, Fresno in 1990. Jef met his wife, Julie, in 1985, 
while attending college. They were married on March 23, 1991 and made their 
home in Clovis where they created two precious little boys, Tyler and Chris. 
After college Jef received his Pest Control Advisor certification and began 
his career in Agriculture. Jef worked for Helena Chemical and Britz Fertilizer 
before realizing his dream of owning his own business. He started his 
business, CHEM-Green, in which he provided weed abatement to large home 
builders across the valley. Jef was a proud and active member of the Clovis 
Elks Lodge for much of his early years. He and Julie traveled frequently as he 
participated in parliamentary competitions across the valley. Jef very much 
enjoyed supporting the Elks and their cause for children. An Avid lover of 
sports, Jef enjoyed watching games and races. He was a passionate Rams 
Football fan all of his life. Probably his favorite sport was golf. He often 
golfed with his friends and took every opportunity to watch the big 
tournaments live. Jef also sponsored many tournaments for various charities. 
Jef, who was known as Jef with one F was a very social person. There wasnt 
anyone he would not befriend. Jef valued his friendships and never forgot any 
of the relationships he made over the years. He enjoyed spending time with 
friends and family and loved to tell his stories and listen to others. We 
always said he was Basque by ingestion because he ate and socialized 
frequently at the local Basque Restaurants and would seek them out wherever he 
went. He is survived by his wife, Julie of 14 years; his two sons, Tyler 
Charles, 8, and Christopher Wyatt, 4; in-laws, Charles and Bernice Phillips 
who were like parents to him; five brothers, Jed of Washington, Aaron, Brydon, 
Marvin and Mel of Bakersfield and sister, Sara, all from Bakersfield; along 
with many nieces and nephews. Jef was a very proud person with a big heart who 
wanted the very best for his family and friends. He will be dearly missed, but 
is now in a better place. His life was short but his memory will last forever! 
We love you and look forward to the house you will make for us in Heaven to 
all be together and share one day. Memorial service will be held at the Easton 
Presbyterian Church, 5895 S. Elm Ave., on Saturday, October 1, 2005. A 
Celebration of Jefs life will take place immediately following at the 
C.P.D.E.S. Hall in Easton. Interment will take place at Clovis Cemetery at a 
later date.
