Obituary
Our beloved Dad, Papa, and brother, Richard Lee Trammell (73) of Richmond, Virginia, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, January 29, 2025. He is preceded in death by his parents Melvin Earl Trammell and Ellen Garrison Trammell. He is survived by two daughters, Jennifer Trammell Smith (Brian) and Nichole Trammell; one grandson, Garrison Charles Smith; two brothers Larry Earl Trammell (Dale) and Scott Eugene Trammell (Debbie); two sisters Kimberly Trammell West (Johnny) and Kelly Trammell Rogers (Rusty); as well as three nieces and two nephews. The family would like to recognize and thank his caregivers Linda James and Cynthia Williams for the wonderful care they provided to Richard.
Richard, or as many knew him, “Rick,” was born in Chicago, Illinois on January 14, 1952. He spent his early years in his beloved neighborhood, Streamwood, which always held a special place in his heart. He moved to Richmond during his senior year of high school. He quickly fell in love with racing and spent many Friday nights at Southside Speedway. He also co-owned and operated a successful family business, Broad Rock Towing, for 49 years. Richard held many talents. He was creative and innovative. There wasn’t a problem or a situation that he couldn’t provide a solution for. More recently, his teachings are most evident in his grandson, Garrison (Papa’s Little Buddy). Richard’s legacy will continue to live on through him.
The family will receive guest from 12:00 pm-1:00pm and Richard’s Celebration of Life will follow at 1:00 pm on Tuesday, February 4 at Morrissett Funeral & Cremation Service, 6500 Iron Bridge Rd., N. Chesterfield, VA 23237. Interment to follow at Maury Cemetery.
