We are sad to announce that, on August 7, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Richard Joel Jenkins (Lake City, Florida). Family and friends can send flowers and/or light a candle as a loving gesture for their loved one. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Richard Joel Jenkins to show support.

As we bid farewell to this cherished soul, solace is taken in the memories held dear — the laughter shared, the wisdom imparted, the moments of quiet reflection in their presence. Though Richard may no longer walk among us, his spirit lives on in the echoes of his kindness, the warmth of his embrace, and the light of his enduring love.

He was predeceased by: his parents, Arrie Lee (Blankinship) and Hiram M. "Buster" Jenkins; and his brother Billy Jenkins.
