A righteous person certainly doesn 't equal a perfect person, especially in this system. Many Bible examples have stumbled such as David and Moses however, they did rise again and were counted as faithful in the Bible. On the other hand there were enemies of God 's servants such as pharaoh and Absalom, who fell and did not get back up......they died due to their wickedness. Repentance is key for our rising back to favor in God 's eyes.

Some lapse into minor sin even repeatedly because of some weakness. But they are still righteous in Jehovah God eyes if they sincerely repent and strive to resume a course of loyal service.
