Patrick “Pat” Lewis Riddle, 63, passed away on July 30, 2024, at Mission Hospital with his family by his side.

He was a native of Buncombe County and the son of the late Walter Nelson and Margaret Hendrick Riddle. In addition to his parents, Pat was preceded in death by his brother, Keith Riddle, sisters, Marsha Goss, Teresa Lane, and Sharon Scott. Pat was a father, husband, uncle, and grandfather.
