Ridgley’s family would like to thank every one of you who has called, sent messages, visited in person, told stories, provided emotional support, delivered food and other items, and especially offered your prayers. We would like to extend a very special thanks to Shawn and Kellie Hooper for graciously donating the venue to honor Ridgley. He was an amazing man who had a boisterous laugh, a loving personality, and the biggest heart. He loved his family, friends and fellow Marines fiercely and he will be truly missed by them all. Semper Fi!
In lieu of flowers, please support Irreverent Warriors or Mission 22 for Veteran PTSD and Suicide Prevention.
