Justin Wayne Richardson, of Palestine, Texas, died Wednesday November 14, 2012 in East Texas Medical Center after a long struggle with kidney disease. Born in Athens, Texas on April 14, 1951, to Dee and Zillah Richardson, Justin grew up as the classic country boy, hunting and fishing whenever possible. Justin graduated Palestine High School and joined the US Marine Core shortly thereafter. He continued to enjoy the outdoors throughout his life. He was an avid collector of rocks and minerals. Throughout his travels he enjoyed fine foods wherever he went. Justin always loved a trip to Las Vegas for good food and some gaming. Justin enjoyed country music on any occasion, especially Merle Haggard. Even with all his work travels over the years, his favorite place was home, in East Texas. He chose to spend his last weeks at the place he loved.
