Richard Lee Barger, age 50, of Wilmington Island, passed away Tuesday, April 5th, 2016.
Richard graduated from Sol C. Johnson High School and worked at his family business Taxi World.
He enjoyed Nascar, golf, playing pool at the local pubs, & caring for and entertaining his cat. Richard supported Lucky Day Rescue, loved animals and would give a person anything he had if there was a need.
Survived by his father George Barger, brothers Morris, Roy, Leslie Barger and several nieces and nephews, he is now peacefully resting with his mother Margaret Barger, two sisters Vicky Barger and Catherine Monroe, and brother George "Trooper" Barger.
His work here is done. His new mission takes him to a wonderful place. We want to let him know that he did a great job and wish him a safe journey. We will remember his smile, his warmth, his energy, his love for life, family, friends and animals. We invite you to join us and celebrate together.
2 Corinthians 5:6-8 So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord
