Mr Richards was a member of the rowing team who crossed the Atlantic raising more than £122,000 for Severn Hospice and RNIB.
Following his death on January 24 at the age of 57, barely a year after completing the Talisker Whisky Atlantic Challenge, the news was greeted with an outpouring of love and sadness. A spokesman for the team said at the time: “Gary Richards was part of the Shropshire landscape and well known throughout the county. He was well respected, liked and dependable.
“Gary was an extremely well known and liked personality in the Telford area where he lived. Whilst never afraid to stand up for himself and his family, what shone through to everyone who knew him well was his caring and kind personality. Combined with his determination to succeed in whatever he did, Gary was one of those rare people that just made things happen and helped other people along the way. He epitomised the phrase ‘if you can be one thing, be kind’.
