Don Riggs knew many people. Only one called him Donald, friends and family called him Don. Business associates likely called him Riggs. I called him dad. Because our hope is in the resurrection I will see you again!

My deepest condolences and blessings to the Riggs family. When I moved to Odessa in 78/79 to live with my aunt, uncle and cousins all Riggs boys were kind to me since I was the new kid in the neighborhood and lived just down the street. And today we still greet one another with kindness. My heart aches for your loss. I hope peace sets with each of you.
