Listen to Obituary

Kenneth Dwayne Riddle, born September 17, 1947, in Post, TX, left this world on June 16, 2026, at the age of 78. Raised in Lubbock, TX, Ken was the beloved son of Truman Louis Riddle and Lillian Doris Mathis. After graduating from Monterrey High School in 1966, he pursued higher education at Texas Tech University from 1967 to 1972.

Ken's life was marked by dedication and joy. He found love and married Virginia Dale Moore on September 16, 1966, beginning a remarkable journey together that spanned 59 loving years. Together, they raised three wonderful children: Robyn Koonce, Kimberly Bickford, and Brett Riddle. His family was his pride and joy, and he cherished every moment spent with his children and grandchildren, Jordan, Zachary, Cameron, Kalynn, Kylee, Ethan, and Alexis.

Ken carved a notable career as a Drug Manager at Skaggs/Albertsons from 1972 to 1988, before becoming a business owner with T-Screen-printing in Mansfield, TX, from 1989 to 2008. His passion extended beyond work to a love of sports—especially cheering for the Dallas Stars—and collecting coins, stamps, and classic cars. A devoted patriot, he proudly wore his red, white, and blue suspenders, embodying his love for his country and his Texan roots.

Ken will be remembered for his infectious smile and laughter, his generosity, and the genuine warmth he shared with everyone around him. His unique sense of humor and the little rituals he held dear—like starting his day with sweet tea and chocolate chip cookies at McDonald’s—left an indelible mark on those who knew him. His catchphrase, “Gotta Go!” often signaled his eagerness to return to his beloved dog, Miss Lucy.

Kenneth Dwayne Riddle's legacy lives on in the hearts of his family: his devoted wife Virginia, his children, and his grandchildren. He is reunited in peace with his parents, Truman and Doris, and his brother Micheal. Ken's laughter and love continue to echo in all who were fortunate enough to be part of his journey.
