Richard Matthew Hinson passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and lifelong devotion to his family.
Richard was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather whose greatest pride was providing for the family he loved so deeply. A hardworking professional in the automotive business, he spent his career selling used cars to his community, building relationships with a warm smile and a friendly word. Outside of work, Richard was an avid hunter and fisherman who found great peace and joy in the outdoors. Above all, he was a light-hearted man with a quick sense of humor and a genuine gift for making people smile.
Richard was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Frank and Emma Jean Hinson, and his brother, Roger Hinson.
He is survived by his loving wife, Carolyn Hinson, and their three sons: his eldest son, Richard Matthew Hinson Jr., his second eldest son, David Roger Hinson, and his youngest son, Nicholas Hinson. He also leaves behind his daughter-in-law, Jennifer Hinson (wife of Richard Jr.), and three cherished grandchildren: his eldest granddaughter, Olivia Hinson, his grandson, Richard Matthew Hinson III, and his youngest granddaughter, Ada Hinson.

Richard's warmth, humor, and unwavering care for his loved ones will be dearly missed and forever remembered by all who knew him.
Graveside services and interment will held on Friday, November 6, 2026 at 12 noon in Mobile Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends from 11am to 12pm Friday at Mobile Memorial Gardens Funeral Home.
