David Curtis Riddle, horse enthusiast

April 8, 2022

David Curtis Riddle passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his loving family Sunday, March 27, 2022. 

David was born on Sept. 10, 1962, in Lewes. He was a beloved father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to all, and will be greatly missed. He was preceded in death by his parents, Luther and Geneva Riddle; brothers, Gary Riddle, Danny Bennett and Elden Adkins. David was survived by his daughters, Lacy Reed (Kenny) and Danielle Sullivan; his grandchildren Nathaniel, Ben, Abriyah and Serenity; his siblings, Edith Lecates (Daryll), Randy Bennett (Judy), Terry Collins (Jimmy); sister-in-law, Cindy Adkins; along with many nieces and nephews. 

David was a horse enthusiast and was a groom for most of his life as well as a carpenter. Most recently, he worked for Hopkins Construction. He was the epitome of a family man, and a true outdoors enthusiast, from camping and hiking to hunting and fishing. He was the best joker, and loved to reminisce and tell stories with his loved ones.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Short Funeral Services, 609 E. Market St., Georgetown, DE 19947 for benefit of David Riddle to help offset funeral expenses.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date to honor his legacy.
