We are very sorry to hear of the passing of Brian. He was always so nice To chill with, chat and hang with on Clan Games. Prayers for all of you, may God bless you today and always. God Speed Brian, you will be missed and thank you for your service.

I remember when Gayla was out of town and Brian dropped Stormy off to me at preschool. He dropped two pony tails into my hand and said "I can't do this. This is a momma thing." We had the long running joke about who was the boss? Stormy decided it was me, (but she knew it was him!) His bigger than life laugh and personality will be missed. Gayla, Stormy, Drew and Trey - So much love to all of you as you learn to navigate the roads ahead without him. Sharon and George and Toby - My prayers are with you all.

I’m so sorry to hear of the passing of Brian, Brian and I went to school together. Prayers for all of you, may God bless you today and always. God Speed Brian, and thank you for your service.

In memory of Brian Thomas Riddle, Leigh and Cynthia-Fellows White lit a candle

There was a time that Brian was my "big brother" and I was "lil sis." I am so very grateful for all of the fun, laughter and shenanigans we shared. Brian has the biggest heart of any man I know and his kindness & strength will never be replaced. If I could have been there during this difficult time, I would have. I am so sorry everyone has to endure this. Please know that I am praying for you and thinking of all of you often. May God provide you comfort and peace.

So saddened by the loss of Brian. His demeanor and happiness were contagious. He was a true role model for our boys during our scouting years together. We would do those times together all over again. Very glad to have been able to talk with him when running in to him at the Rec center a while back. Our prayers, thoughts, and love are truly with his whole family. Yes Brian, you will be missed!

Gone too soon from this world, you leave a (big) hole in our lives Brian. Sending love and heartfelt condolences to Gayla and the entire Riddle family. God bless and rest well.

Gayla, my heart breaks for you and your children! Love you and Brian so much!! ❤️

Post 91 will never be the same. I’ll always remember your smile and great personality! You will greatly be missed! Your friend “Bud light lady”

Brian was a great guy! Can't say I was real close to him, but I'm glad I had a chance to meet him and get to know him a little bit. Always friendly and always with a smile. Condolences to his family and close friends from the Legion. He will certainly be missed! Jeff Haas

I am so very sorry to hear about Brian. He was a great guy, colleague and the type of person you wanted to be around. He made such a difference in so many peoples lives

He will be missed, alway a joy to be around. Rest in peace mu bfother.

Brian Riddle. The biggest guy in the room, in presence and spirit, and a friend and brother to all. Brian's big booming smile, and his fun disposition have always made those around him feel like long lost friends, catching up, without ever feeling the break in time. I met Brian 14 years ago in the FAA. We have attended many FAA training courses together and enjoyed evenings with a beer and a game of pool at a local pub. I last saw Brian, mid-2019, in Oklahoma City. While attending a class, on break standing in the hall, a big bear paw gripped my neck from the side, a voice boldly said, "Turn at your own peril". I smiled, knowing it was Brian. It had been 3-4 years since I last saw him. After class that day, Brian, another friend Scott, and I all met up for dinner and a beer. We all talked like we've been meeting every week for years. Brian's personality was one -of-a-kind. His broad big smile, quick wit, joking persona, and his ability to listen intently, then bring levity to whatever topic was being discussed was always his order of the day. Every day! Brian will be deeply missed as a friend, and colleague. He was a big guy, with a bigger heart, and a smile that warmed everybody who knew him. Thanks for being my friend Brian. I am better having known you. The world needed more of you, I guess it'll have to wait. You'll be truly missed. Your a blessed soul.

To the Riddle family, my sincerest condolences for the loss of Brian, husband, father, brother and colleague. Brian was a friend to all. I am better for having known him as a fellow FAA ASI.

Our prayers and thoughts are with the Riddle family.

Brian’s infectious laugh and giggle will always be burned in my memory. A simple guy with simple needs that loved his country very much. A proud husband, father and friend. Until we meet again my friend.

Brian was a great guy who will be dearly missed. His laugh was infectious, he helped so many at Post 91 American Legion and was liked by all who knew him. I will miss our greetings when we saw each other: Hello Mr Riddle I would say, and he would say Hello Mel. He was a bright light in this world, my deepest condolences to his family & friends.

Dear Sharon and family, I'm so sorry for your loss and just know that you are in my prayers. I remember the times you came to my ice cream store with your boys. Lots of good memories but it's been a long time. God bless you and keep you and your family.

Our deepest sympathies. Brian was a wonderful friend and our office will not be the same without his presence. God Bless the Riddle Family.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
