Lynn Thomas “L.T.” Richardet, 65, of Perryville, Missouri passed away Wednesday, December 25, 2024 at St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau, MO.
He was born July 22, 1959 in Perryville, MO to Ralph and Rose “Tootie” (Schloss) Richardet.
Lynn was baptized in the Catholic Faith.
As we mourn the loss of the beloved Lynn T. Richardet, who passed away on Christmas Day, we want to come together to honor the incredible man he was. Lynn touched so many lives as a father, grandfather, entrepreneur, farmer, son, brother, uncle, cousin, and most importantly, a dear friend to countless people.
Lynn was truly one of a kind-generous, hardworking, fun-loving, and larger than life. From his days playing on the softball field to his love of singing and playing music, he embraced life to the fullest. He had a passion for the finer things-a cigar in one hand, a drink in the other-and always wore his signature sunglasses with style. Lynn had a love for traveling, enjoying a nice dinner with close friends and losing track of time in the clock-less “lounge.”
Lynn’s generosity knew no bounds. He faithfully supported our local schools, fundraisers, and charities, always giving selflessly to help others. He was especially passionate about helping veterans and played a key role in supporting the annual “Getting’ Sauced” BBQ event, which brought the community together for a great cause. Many of us may never fully know the humble ways Lynn helped behind the scenes, but his impact will be felt for generations.
Lynn T. Richardet, you will be deeply missed. “Ol buddy,” your spirit will forever be with us.
