Charles Ray Riggs

I feel blessed to have known Charles when he joined First Pres Santa Monica, where he enriched us all with his guest preaching, shared his culinary skill during church socials, and patiently taught new board games during game nights. May your family be comforted with the many happy memories made and shared in his lifetime. With sympathy for your loss,
Karen Carrey

My deepest condolences to the family and friends of Charles. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure that fills your heart with love and brings you joy. May you find comfort in Jesus promise of the hope of everlasting life at John 6:40.

I was sadden to learn of the passing of my colleague in the Federal Prison Chaplaincy. During my tenure our paths crossed many times as we served many faith groups. It has been a challenge, blessing,and God rewarding ministry to share with Charlie. May the Lord be your refuge and strength family is my prayer.

Charles and I worked together for many years in the US Bureau of Prisons. He was a personal friend and a valued professional colleague. Though we have both been retired for a number of years, my time working with Charles is etched in my memory. Thanks Charlie! My best to his wife Carole.

I was honored to have met Dr. Riggs after his move to CA to be close to Richard, Michael and the twins. I was immediately struck by his keen intelligence and warm heart. His compassion for all shown through readily. I feel for his family as they mourn his passing.
