News Star World - July 29, 2012
RICHARD EARL CALHOUN

Richard Earl Calhoun entered this world on September 17, 1958 and departed on 
July 27, 2012 at the age of 53 in West Monroe, Louisiana. Richard worked most 
of his life as a carpenter, taking immense joy from building things… the right 
way. He was strong, faithful and unwavering, the pillar of his family. His son 
Adam said, "There is only one man in the world that I will admit is tougher 
than me, that's my dad and he proves it every day. I love him with all I've 
got. I hope someday I might be half the man that he is." He loved to make 
people think, to challenge their worldview. But his greatest testimony came in 
the final days of his life. With hands that trembled, barely able to lift 
glasses to his face, Richard asked his family to be quiet and not hover. He 
wanted to read. Read the Bible that he clutched while waiting for our ever 
faithful God to call him home. "Rejoice, don't cry, heaven is beautiful," he 
said. "They are waiting on me."

And at the very moment he left this earth, he joined in that blessed reunion 
with those that preceded him, his parents Betty and Earl Calhoun, Maternal 
grandparents Jean and Lucille Gilbert, Paternal grandparents Make and Jewel 
Calhoun.

He is survived by his wife of 28 years Cindy DeMoss Calhoun, daughter Stacy 
Calhoun Anders and husband Chester Anders, son Adam Richard Calhoun, one 
grandson William Garrett Anders, 2 brothers Mike Calhoun and Ken Calhoun and 
wife Lisa, one sister Glenda "Sissy" Calhoun, 16 nieces and nephews, 
uncountable aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Visitation will be held Sunday July 29th from 5:00 PM-8:00 PM at Kilpatrick 
Funeral Home in West Monroe.

Funeral services will be Monday at 2:00 PM at Kilpatrick Funeral Home West 
Monroe. Interment to follow at Roselawn Memorial Gardens under the direction 
of Kilpatrick Funeral Home of West Monroe.

First cousins will serve as pallbearers. Memorials may be made to Gideon's 
International.
