Because of his beloved son Kenneth, Rich had a passion for the handicapped kids in our community. He also spent countless hours volunteering his time in working on special events as well as benefits to help raise money and gain awareness to these very special people .

Richard also had a great passion for his friends.  He was known to all as a man of little words but when he did speak it was always insightful or extremely humorous.   Every Friday night for the past 7 years you could find Rich and Jeannie at their reserved seat at Clementines Restaurant.  Elias Deeks, the owner of Clementines, always made sure Rich and Jeannie had their favorite drinks and food available along with entertainment from Rich's favorite entertainers, Ray Pate and Bruce Jagar.  The lifelong friends they have made at Clementines have been with Rich and Jeannie through this entire process and they consider all of them family.

Services to honor this wonderful and loving man, Richard Govan are as follows:
