Richard Anthony “Richie” Granados, 36, was called to his eternal resting place Wednesday, May 29, 2024.

He entered this world April 10, 1988, in Artesia, the son of Rebecca Granados.

Richie enjoyed being with his sons, who were his pride and joy. He lived life to the fullest and enjoyed traveling with his family whenever the opportunity arose.

He would give anyone the shirt off his back when needed. He never said “no” to anyone. To know Richie was to love Richie.

Survivors include his wife, Genny Granados; their four sons, Dominic, Dustin, David and Desmond Granados; his mother, Rebecca Granados; older brother Ramon Granados and wife Joanna, and younger brother Ramiro Granados; nieces Priscilla, Marisela and Abigail Granados; nephews Aniello and Zachariah Granados; grandmother Elfida Granados; aunts Camie, Ronnie and Rikki Granados; and numerous cousins.

He was preceded in death by his dad (grandfather) Richard Granados on Feb. 8, 2018; and his great-grandparents Antonio and Juana Granados, and Ramon and Cruz Chavarria.

Private services will be held at a later date, as his wishes were to be cremated and laid to rest next to his dad (grandfather).

Arrangements are under the direction of Terpening & Son Mortuary. Condolences may be expressed online at www.artesiafunerals. com.
