Obituary For Richard Joe Edward McCracken
Richard Joe Edward McCracken was born on January 13, 1965 in Sherman Texas to Richard and Jewell Armstrong McCracken. Weighing 3 pounds, they didn’t think he would make it, but God had other plans. He attended school at Jefferson and Fred Douglas in Sherman Texas. Richard gained his angel wings on July 11, 2025 at the age of 60.
Richard had a smile that could light up the room. He never met a stranger and would pray for everyone. He loved his family and Jesus with all his heart. Richard enjoyed fishing, dancing, music, writing in his notebooks, coffee, chocolate milkshakes and watching game shows. He had a great sense of humor and loved to play jokes and pick on his loved ones.
Richard is survived by his caretaker/sister of the past 13 years Brenda Neal (Michael Radican) of Bells; Sister Linda Baze of Denison; nieces Renatta Jones (Jeremy) of Howe; Melissa Carter (Cody) of Sherman, nephews Paul Neal (Shaila) of Bells, Nathan Baze (Stacey) of Denison, Great Nephews Easton Jones, Nathan Jones, Aiden Neal, Jesse Neal, Bryce Baze, Oscar Torres, Piero Fernandez, Landon Cummings; great nieces Avery Jones, Kyla Neal, Allie Arredondo, Hope Hill (Cameron), Trinity Hill, Adrianna Baze, Emeree Baze, London Baze, Adrianne Burkard, Haleigh Baze; great great nephews Greighson Baze, Maverick Corbin, & great great niece Caylin Stephenson. He also had many cousins, aunts, uncles and friends who were also very special to him.
