Michael Raphael Richardson was born on July 10, 1984 to the late Amy Mae Richardson & James Louis Richardson.

He gave his life to Christ at an early age, and was a member of New Jerusalem Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. A.L. Sneed.

Michael graduated from Johnston High School, and later enlisted into the United States Marine Corps; where he was honorably discharged.

A true talent he was, as he played the piano, was a great rapper, and the CEO and Co-Founder of F4AB. However, of all Michael's accomplishments, becoming a dad to his beautiful daughter Lonnie Arlene Richardson, was by far one of his greatest accomplishments.

Michael Richardson was called home on July 9, 2022 where he will fellowship with the Angels in Heaven. He is preceded in death by his mother, Amy Mae Richardson; nephews, Jamar Harris, Jarvis Richardson and DiJon Jerrells-Spencer; his grandparents, aunties and uncles.

He leaves to cherish his loving memory, his father, James Louis Richardson; daughter, Lonnie Arlene Richardson; his sisters, Shlinda Harris (James), Pamela Richardson and Antanika Richardson; his brother, James Richardson, Jr. (Kimpell); and his grandmother, Annie Pearl Johnson. He also leaves a host of nephews, nieces, relatives, and friends.

Michael will truly be missed.
