Richard Keith Barlow's Obituary
Richard Keith Barlow, 66, of St. Marys, GA, passed away on Monday, February 6, 2023, in Spring Hill, Florida. Rick was born on January 1, 1957, in Jacksonville, Florida, as the middle child of the late Winston Barlow, Sr. and Elizabeth Sanderson Barlow.
Rick will be remembered for his infectious smile and his gift of gab, including his ability to strike up a conversation with anyone...anytime...anywhere. He never met a stranger. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying both hunting and fishing. Rick was always available to lend a helping hand to anyone that was in need. Most importantly, Rick loved his family.

Rick then became a self-employed entrepreneur in the Camden County, Georgia, area, until he was unable to work for medical reasons.
During recent years, he was under the loving care of his mother and his sister, Rhonda Barlow.
