Born July 9, 1925 at Judson, he was the son of the late Jacob Thomas Richmond and Elizabeth Boone Richmond.
Mr. Richmond lived a full life that was dedicated to his family. Carrington always put family first in everything he did. He loved to farm and spent the majority of his life as a farmer. He worked several years as a farm manager at the WV State Women's Prison in Pence Springs, WV. He served two years in the U.S. Army during the Korean Conflict.

Richmond and Gertrude Vera Richmond McKinney; brothers, Harmon D. Richmond, Emmett O. Richmond, Robert J. Richmond, Lloyd L. Richmond, Othar Hobert Richmond, Forest Owen Richmond and Leonard Curtis Richmond. Carrington was the last surviving member of his immediate family.

He also has an extended special family at the VA Hospital in Beckley and Greenbrier Manor in Fairlea, WV. He deeply loved the residents and staff of both facilities.
