Mr. Richard "Hal" Fuqua

Mr. Richard “Hal” Fuqua, age 65, of Farmington, Kentucky, passed away on Monday, June 1, 2026, at the Tri-Star Centennial Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee.

Mr. Fuqua was born on January 8, 1961, in Murray , Kentucky to the late Richard Fuqua and Judith (Jordan) Fuqua. Mr. Fuqua was a farmer and a member of the Antioch Church of Christ. Hal lived life with determination and an unwavering work ethic. Whether he was running ultra-endurance marathons, working the land he loved, or spending long hours behind the wheel of a truck, he embraced every challenge with strength and purpose.

His dedication, humility, and love for his family and community will be remembered by all who knew him.
