Richard “Rick” Paul Cothern, Sr., 60, passed away on Sunday, Sept. 16, 2012 at the River Oaks Hospital in Flowood, MS.
He is survived by his wife Carol Cummings Cothern, daughter Jennifer Cothern Wilson and her husband Jason Wilson, son Paul Cothern, Jr., his father Floyd Cothern, brothers Jerry Cothern and Allen Cothern and his wife Caryll.

Rick was known as the life of the party. He never met a stranger and always had a hug and kind word for everyone. He loved helping others, whether his family and friends with the smallest of things or a stranger stranded on the road. He enjoyed the outdoors, loved working in the yard and being on the beach. His family was his first priority in life. Rick rarely missed a soccer game, baseball game, or football game in which his children or grandchildren played. He was a car and motorcycle enthusiast and enjoyed watching and attending NASCAR races.
