To the family of the late Tyrone Riddick
Tyrone will be missed by many, especially his church family and those of us who personally knew him including vacationed with him. He was a great guy, kindhearted and fun. He loved the Lord and loved to serve him through ushering, singing in the male chorus and praise dancing.
Although our hearts are heavy, continue to trust in the Lord knowing Tyrone is with the Lord.
