Richard Myron

Taylor Iii

Mr. Richard M. Taylor III, of Warrenton, MO, passed away peacefully on Friday, April 4, 2025, surrounded by the love of his family. Born on March 10, 1947, in Janesville, WI, to Richard and Anita (née Berger) Taylor, Richard lived a full and meaningful life, reaching the age of 78.
A proud veteran, Richard honorably served in the United States Air Force for 20 years. His commitment to service didn't end with retirement-he continued to give back to his community through more than 15 years of dedicated volunteer work with AGAPE in Warrenton.
On February 16, 1997, Richard married the love of his life, Randa Allison Tidwell. Together they shared countless adventures, laughter, and unwavering devotion.
Richard had a curious mind and a creative soul. He was a skilled woodworker, a tech tinkerer, a passionate music lover, and a master of unforgettable firework displays. He was the kind of man who could build anything, fix everything, and always knew just how to make someone smile. With a generous heart and a hands-on spirit, Richard was always the first to lend a hand where it was needed.
Above all, Richard was a devoted husband, a loving father, a proud grandpa, and a loyal friend. His kindness, strength, and sense of humor will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know him.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Richard and Anita Taylor. Richard is survived by his beloved wife, Randa; his children, Mark Hegberg (Elizabeth), Sean Taylor (Amanda), and Tiffany Gastorf (Joseph); his cherished grandchildren, Aidan and John "Jack" Hegberg, Tristen and Kora Taylor, and Ella, Brintin, and Colton Rebura; his brother, Steven Taylor (Lori); and many other loving relatives and dear friends.
