Ronald Riddle Obituary

A fourth generation native born to Lola Mae (Pollitt) Riddle and Aubrey Riddle (deceased) having one older sister, Vickey. Lola Mae then married Gary McKibben giving Ron two more sisters, Lola Gail and Cherie. Ron married leaving his son, Shadoe and daughter, Shiloe, which were his greatest loves. Other family mourners are his niece's family, Sheryl (Steve), Joshua Pearson; nephews, Thomas Rizzo, Gabriel and Lukas Draxton, Trenton Price, and life long best friend James Dean Elliott. He attended West Jr., then Coronado High where he played football and graduated from Mitchell High. He attended P.P.C.C. for carpentry and physical education. After graduating P.P.C.C., many a summer was enjoyed helping Park & Rec as a coach to youngsters in soccer, basketball, softball, football and karate. He had a beautiful singing voice and once sang lead with a local band called Velvet Sunset. He also won a lot of local contests singing karaoke. A celebration of Ron's life is planned for July. Cremation has taken place. We'd like all friends and family to get together for a Pot-Luck and Ron's music. RSVP Mom or come by the homestead.
