Obituary published on Legacy.com by Amos Carvelli Funeral Home on Feb. 15, 2026.
Stephen Ray "Steve" Riddle Jr., 54, of Lost Creek, West Virginia, passed away on January 22, 2026.

Born on August 29, 1971, in Clarksburg, West Virginia, Steve lived a life marked by dedication to his family, pride in his work, and a deep appreciation for the simple joys of life.

A graduate of South Harrison High School Steve went on to serve his country in the West Virginia Army National Guard from 1990 to 1996. In 2001, Steve founded Riddle Trucking Company, a business that became not only his livelihood but also a source of great pride.

Steve's greatest joy came from spending time with those he loved. Whether riding his Harley or heading into the woods for a hunting trip, he found peace and happiness in nature and family traditions. He cherished every moment spent with his wife Kim and the family they had built together.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Kimberly Meadows-Riddle; his son, Stephen Riddle III and wife Caley of West Milford; stepchildren, Makala Meadows and husband Connor of Fairmont, Caira Meadows of Clarksburg, and Coalton Butcher of Lost Creek; grandchildren, Paisley Riddle, Hudson Riddle, Sophia Meadows, and Roman Webber; as well as his brother, Jason Riddle and wife Alicia of Clarksburg; and stepfather, Robert McCoy of Clarksburg.

Steve was preceded in death by his mother, Regina Blanche Knotts McCloy; father, Stephen Ray Riddle Sr.; and sister, Tina Riddle.
