Born in Orange, Texas, on July 21, 1982, he was the son of Richard Dale Cheatwood, Sr. and Margaret Ann Tynes. He was a beloved individual with a big heart who everyone considered "the boss." He had an undeniable love for swimming and spent countless hours enjoying the water. Bubba really enjoyed going on boat rides and riding on the golf cart and side-by-side. He also found solace in music. One of his favorite pastimes was sitting on his swing in the yard. Family was incredibly important to Bubba, and he adored spending time with his loved ones. His nephews held a special place in his heart, and he shared a unique bond with them. Their time together was filled with laughter, playfulness, and love. Bubba loved giving hugs and kisses to everyone, especially his mom. To create the perfect ambiance wherever he went, Bubba always had to have a fan blowing and the radio playing in the background. One of Bubba’s cherished traditions was going on trips to Dairy Queen with his mother. Bubba will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
