Richard Livingston is a lifelong resident of Burleson, and for more than 25 years has been a substitute teacher for Burleson ISD inspiring students and adults.

The proclamation reads, per NBC DFW, "He leaves an impression on anyone he meets. He takes the time and care to develop relationships with those he serves. There are countless stories and legends of his kindnesses to Burleson residents. We encourage all Burleson residents to find ways to enhance the lives of others as Mr. Livingston has."
