Lance Cpl. William T. Richards of Trenton, Georgia, best known as Taylor, is a 2008 graduate of Dade County High School where he stayed under the radar in a positive way by not getting into trouble. But he is certainly remembered as a happy student who connected with his peers as well as the staff. In his leisure time he played in a small blue grass band in the Trenton area. Prior to joining the Marine Corps he was employed at Case’s Ace Hardware in Trenton. He served in the United States Marine Corps and had been in Afghanistan since March of 2010. He leaves behind a wife, Emily and a daughter Kayden, mother, Barbara Pouliot and father Steve Richards. He died at age 20 (yesterday) while supporting combat operations in Helmand province, Afghanistan.
