Richard Alfred Furst, son of Harry Furst and Magie Furst, peacefully passed away on Monday, Jan. 3, 2022. Richard graduated from W.T. White High School in 1972. He then attended the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in economics. He was a member of the AEPi fraternity, where he made lifelong friends. After college Richard was first employed by Commercial Metals Co. Thereafter he formed his own business, Furst Metal Co. He then pursued a career in the sports agency business, where he lived out his dream of scouting and prospecting NFL players. He enjoyed all sports, especially football, baseball, running and skiing, and loved nothing more than watching and playing with his two sons. He was a lifelong Cowboys fan. His sons, Augie and Manie, were the joy of his life. Richard loved the Almighty and lived his life in devotion to G-d. The Jewish holidays and family get-togethers were the highlights of the year.
