Richard E. Titsworth, age 78, of Paducah, Kentucky, passed away peacefully at his home on Friday, April 4, 2025. Born on Saturday, July 20, 1946, Richard devoted his life to tirelessly serving his community and country.
After honorably serving in the U.S. Navy, Richard lived in Eastern Kentucky for 36 years, where he was a member of the Lion’s Club, serving from 1989-1990 as District Governor for District 43 Y. He was also a member of the volunteer Fire Department in Whitesburg, Kentucky. He and his wife Ann, then moved back to his hometown of Paducah.
Richard was a man of the outdoors, relishing in the joys of hunting, fishing, and gardening. His passion for wildlife and nature was eclipsed only by his deep faith, as a dedicated member of the Lone Oak First Baptist Church.
