Richard Harrell Jr.'s Obituary
Richard Lawrence Harrell Jr. of New Port Richey, Florida unexpectedly passed away on March 23rd, 2023 at the age of 44.
Rick was born on July 24th, 1978 in Tampa, Florida. After graduating from River Ridge High School Class of 96’, Rick had extensive careers with Enterprise Rent A Car, Chase Bank, and Redi Carpet, the latter of which Rick maintained for 15+ years until his passing. Rick was a loyal friend and was loved by everyone. He loved sports, in particular the Florida Gators and his hometown Buccaneers, and was arguably the best friend to watch any game with. He was a big brother to his two sisters, the only son of his beautiful mother, an amazing uncle to his nephew and was absolutely adored by his late grandmother. Affectionately known as The Mayor of New Port Richey, Rick always had a smile on his face, an explosive laugh that filled the room, and warm hugs which will be sorely missed.
Rick is survived by his mother Pamela Waller, sisters Chelci Dineen (Mike), Bailey Karpay (Matt), nephew Archie Karpay, aunts Kyleene Galloway, Claudia Galloway McCallister (Blaine), Candace Mergens (James) & cousins Kerry, Paul, Kelly, Jennifer, Lexi, & Cameron. Rick also has numerous second cousins and countless friends which he considered family. Rick was preceded in death by his aunt Teresa and his beloved grandmother, Ollie Waller. A memorial will be held on March 31st @ 1:00 PM at Trinity Memorial Gardens, 12609 Memorial Drive, Trinity, FL 34655.
