Eryc Riddle Obituary

GROVETOWN, Ga. - It is with heavy hearts that his family share the news that Eryc Jordan Riddle went to be with his heavenly Father on May 14, 2014. Eryc was a native of Columbia County. He recently returned home after having practiced law in Charleston, a city he truly loved, to join the family business. He lived life to the fullest. He had several hobbies including hunting, fishing, gardening, riding motorcycles, free driving, traveling, cheering on his Georgia bulldogs, and spending time with his family and friends. He truly had a servant's heart and he completed everything beyond the call of expectation. The heart of Eryc Riddle was one of Godly character, a zeal for truth, a calm demeanor and a welcoming nature. He had love for his Lord and his family and that is what brought him back to Augusta. This loving and wonderful man will be truly missed by the countless lives that he touched. Family members include his wife: Jennifer Matosian Riddle; parents: Eryc and Tonya Riddle; paternal grandparents: Kathlyn and the late Rondah Riddle; maternal grandparents: Nadine Crews and the late Aubrey Smith; and his chocolate lab and companion: Remi. He is preceded in death by his brother, Logan Riddle and his best friend, Michael Hendrickson. A memorial service will be held Saturday, May 17, 2014 at 2:00 P.M. at Warren Baptist Church with Rev. Bryan Smith and Pastor Tony Lamb officiating. The family will receive friends following the service at the church. Thomas Poteet & Son Funeral Directors, 214 Davis Rd., Augusta, GA 30907 (706) 364-8484. Please sign the guestbook at www.thomaspoteet.com

There are no words to ease the pain when we lose someone we love. The pain is so deep it takes your breath away...you cry until there are no more tears..then you somehow cry some more. You wonder what life will be like without them in it .You wonder how you will move forward....but Eventually you do....and while you never get over the deep sense of loss...you learn to live with it as best you can mostly by reliving the many memories of times shared with that person. They say.."the pain will get better". I don't know that it does.. I think we just know that even if our loved one is not here with us in person..in our hearts they always will be and they and that help us get through by reminding us of how wonderful they were. Eryc was a Blessing to all who knew him. His smile...was contagious..and boy could he make us laugh. Donnie and I feel honored to have shared a small part of his life.. and to have called him our friend. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you in this time of loss.
