Richard Jack Browder, age 53, of Leatherwood Lane in Spruce Pine, passed away Friday, November 26, 2021 at Blue Ridge Regional Hospital in Spruce Pine.
Born on August 16, 1968 in Boynton Beach, FL, he was the son of Alvin Browder and Ann Ward Browder, both of whom are still surviving.
Richard began working at age seventeen, in the construction field following in the footsteps of his family. He was a master builder and thoroughly enjoyed his work. He also enjoyed fishing and hunting.
There will never be another Richard Browder. A man full of life and a giving heart. He walked into a room and his smile spread like wildfire. He never met a stranger and he gave a piece of his heart to everyone he loved. We can only imagine the number of lives he has changed through his giving soul. He loved his dogs, his community, his friends, and his family with a lasting impact and he will be greatly missed.
