Richie was a passionate automobile aficionado and an avid collector of vintage license plates. His enthusiasm for all things automotive was well-known among his friends and family. He was a devout member of McKendree Methodist Church, where he participated actively in community services and events.
Richie is survived by his father, Richard E. Baucom Sr.; his sister, Shelly Baucom Lockman and her husband Shane; nephew, Foster Williamson; niece, Caroline Williamson; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his mother, Nancy Stallings Baucom, and his grandparents, Willard L. and Audrey Baucom, and Harvey O. and Ola Mae Stallings.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Samaritan's Purse, PO Box 3000, Boone, NC 28607, to benefit the victims of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina, reflecting Richie's lifelong commitment to helping those in need.
Warlick Funeral Home of Lincolnton, N.C. is serving the Baucom family.
