Kathy's Courage

Kathy Richards was loved and cherished by many people including her son, Taproot’s singer Stephen Richards.  She fought a courageous battle with cancer over 20 years but, sadly, passed away on March 30th.  We kindly ask that you please help support Kathy’s final arrangements and some outstanding financial commitments by contributing whatever you can. 

From the time Taproot formed in 1997 until she passed, Kathy was a huge supporter of the band.  Taproot always practiced, wrote albums, and rehearsed in the home that she and Steve shared.  Kathy served as sort of our “band mom,” and we wouldn’t have been able to achieve the level of success we did without her love and support.  She will be missed by all of her friends, family, and loved ones.
