William Richard Osteen

William Richard Osteen, 83, died Monday, August 1, 2016, at Shannon Medical Center surrounded by his loving family. Mr. Osteen is survived by his wife of 56 years, Dolores, two children: Diane Janzen from Fredericksburg, and Renee Beale and son-in-law Joe Recchia from Austin. He also leaves behind two grandchildren, Autumn (JB) Byerly of Indiana, Lauren (Shay) Wilde of San Angelo along with two great-grandchildren, Brooklyn and Brynn Byerly; his brother, Gene Osteen and two nieces, Marsha and Angie. Mr. Osteen was born April 5, 1933 and raised in Bloomingdale Georgia. William, better known as "Richard" was a retired Master Sergeant in the United States Air Force. While spending the early part of his career at Goodfellow Air Force Base, he met his wife Dolores. They spent the first 33 years of their marriage in Aurora, where in the high mountains of Colorado, Richard's love for the outdoors became his passion. He was an avid fisherman and hunter. Both he and his wife moved to San Angelo in 1996 after his retirement from the military. When Richard wasn't spending time with family, or casting a line into the Concho River, he was volunteering his time to the San Angelo State Park, and was a member of the West Side Lions Club where much of his charitable work and easy smile will be sorely missed. Funeral services will be 10:00 am Friday August 5, 2016 at Robert Massie Funeral Home with Chaplain J. T. Tucker, of Shannon, officiating. Burial will follow at Lawnhaven Memorial Gardens under the direction of Robert Massie Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, please make memorial donations to Friends of San Angelo State Park 3900-2 Mercedes Road San Angelo, TX 76901
