Stephen "Steve" Edward Riddle, age 66, of Perry, Georgia, passed on Sunday, August 17, 2025, at his residence. Services celebrating his life will be held in the upcoming week or two at Georgia Veterans Memorial Cemetery, once the family has settled on a date and time.

Born in Dayton, Ohio, Steve was the son of the late John and Edith Rushton Riddle. A highly skilled master automotive body technician, he brought both precision and artistry to his work at Randy's Collision Center.

Steve was a true artist at heart. He expressed his creativity not only through his profession but also through his love of drawing and comic books. He enjoyed fishing, throwing darts, playing cards, and singing karaoke-especially songs by Elvis Presley and Elton John. A passionate motorcycle enthusiast, he found joy and freedom on the open road.

Steve was preceded in death by his parents; his beloved daughter, Edith Riddle; his brother, Glen and sisters Fay and Tina.

He is survived by his children: Jonathan Conan Riddle of Jacksonville, FL; Amy Boselie (Michael) of Bonaire, GA; and Stephanie Taylor of Jacksonville, FL. He is also survived by 16 grandchildren and his sister, Lisa Wheeler (Scott) of Kathleen, GA.; and several nieces and nephews.

Arrangements have been entrusted to Burpee-Scott Memorial Chapel & Crematory.
