Patrick Lamont Poindexter
January 1, 1977 – January 4, 2022
On Tuesday, January 4, 2022 Patrick Lamont Poindexter was called by his ancestors to his heavenly home at the age of forty-five. Known by many as “Ru”, Patrick was a New Year baby, born on January 1, 1977 to the late Albert (Pete) & Annie Poindexter.
Patrick received his formal education in Halifax County, Virginia and graduated from Halifax County High School in 1996. In 2004 he completed the requirements to obtain his Truck Driver’s license. Poindexter was employed as a delivery driver for the US Postal Service for over 10 years.
Patrick was a devoted husband to Wendy, and father to not only Izaiah and Iyana, but to his three god-daughters as well. He was a protector for his aunts and sister, and a passionate family man. It seemed easy for him to tell his female cousins how much he loved them, and for the guys, he loved you all just as much, even if he did not say the words. If you were ever fussed at by Patrick, he loved you.
One fact that cannot be denied is that Patrick Poindexter was a die-hard Washington Redskins fan, and could be seen at any given time wearing head to toe Redskins fan gear.
In addition to his parents, Patrick was preceded in death by his grandparents, Kenneth & Edna Poindexter, and Vernell Lacy Beard; aunt, Frances Brown; and cousins, Coralee Marable, LaTraz Williams, LaMario Majors, Nikita Harris and Tyree (TJ) Bailey.
Those left to cherish precious memories, his loving wife, Wendy Keel Poindexter; and children, Izaiah Rahman and Iyana Faison; three god-daughters, Jayla Lovelace-Jeffress, Makiah Lovelace-Jeffress and Traniya Barksdale; one sister, Marva Brame Womack (Anthony); aunts, Wanda Barksdale (Vincent), Vickie Poindexter, Renorma Majors (Kenneth), and Laura Harding (William); uncles, Edward Poindexter, Kent Poindexter (Annie), and Harry Canada; three great-uncles, Leroy Hubbard, Robert Lacy, and William Lacy; father-in-law, James Keel and mother-in-law, Elizabeth Mahone Keel; devoted friends, Joseph Traynham, Travis Barksdale and William Stokes; special sisters, Bridgett Harris-Hamlett, and Daneyta LP Greene; special big brothers, Marcus Bailey and Eduardo Poindexter; and a host of cousins, family and friends.
A visitation will be held from 9 to 11 a.m. on Saturday, January 15 at Affinity Funeral Service Richmond Chapel, 2720 Enterprise Parkway, Richmond, VA 23294. A funeral service will follow at 11 a.m. in the funeral home chapel.

Love you Patty Cake, you will be missed! Please watch over my friend Wendy and the kids. Because their angel 😇.
Patrick was the first person I met 4 years ago at the post office. At that point I was trying to get on as a postal driver and he explained to me how to go about it. Patrick listen to me time and time again as my frustration grew waiting to become driver. His famous words to me were “Don’t worry brother, you got this, be patient . ” I finally got it and we stayed friends. I will never forget you. May the Lord keep you in his care. You will be missed brother. RIP Patrick.
