Richard Ernest Schrum Jr, 45, cherished son, brother, uncle, and friend, passed away on April 23, 2024, in Bixby, Oklahoma. Richard's vibrant spirit and determination leave a legacy of unconditional love and perseverance.

Richard was born on July 20, 1978, in Claremore, Oklahoma, to Richard Schrum Sr and Marcella Allen. After graduating from Thunderbird Youth Academy in Pryor, Oklahoma, Richard served three years in the US Army.

Richard loved those around him with his whole heart. Especially his four sisters and their spouses, Barbara and Larry Shope, Janet and Wayne Moore, Lisa Schrum, Jared Hinton, and Rhonda Schrum, whom he loved without fail. Richard was the baby brother and was not only a momma's boy but was his father's best friend. Richard's love extended wide - to his cat, McGruff, fishing, remodeling his home, his car, and his passion for shoes, hats, and sunglasses. Richard was an avid St Louis Cardinals fan who loved watching the games with his friends and family.

Richard was overjoyed when he spent time with his nieces and nephews: William, Jerry, April, Krystalyn, Wesley, Andrea, Jenna, James, Joshua, Jacob, Breanna, Katelyn, and Austin. Richard was proud of his great-nieces and nephews. One of which was named after him, Richard Harris.
