Obituary

Riddle Jr., Karl “Bubba” Waverly, 50, of Chesterfield, Va., departed this world peacefully on December 21, 2020 to join his Lord and Savior (he accepted Jesus on 11/8/2020) after a courageous battle with cancer. Our loving, husband, father, brother, PawPaw, uncle, and friend reluctantly bid farewell to this life. Karl also known as Bubba and PawPaw made this world a better place and was always the brightest light in the room. He was the life of the party and there was never a dull moment. In 50 brief years, he lived life to the fullest and each day as though it was his last. He loved Bob Seger, Pool, NASCAR, gambling, traveling and most of all his Family and Friends. He graduated in 1988 from Lloyd C. Bird. He worked in construction and maintenance for over 30 years, the majority of which at Expert Construction. For the last 3.5 years at Chesterfield County Public Schools as a Building Operations Supervisor at Gordon and Providence Elementary Schools. This was his dream job which he was very passionate about. He was always willing to help others with anything; contributing his personal best and attention to detail to achieve quality and personal pride in a job well done. In his words, “It”™s not what you take with you when you go; it”™s what you leave behind”. His life and influence will forever be remembered in our hearts. He was preceded in death by his mother, Margaret Linda Powell; step-father, C.B. Lawson; grandmothers, Grace Violet “Snookum” Jones, Nora Louise “Nannie” Riddle; grandfather, Ira Lee Whitmore Sr. He is survived by his loving, devoted and self-less caretaker; best friend and wife, Ann Rice Riddle; son, Christopher Riddle (Alexis); grandchild, Landon Riddle; father, Karl Riddle, Sr. (Barbara), step-father, Kenny Powell; sister, Tammy Kirby (Frank); step-sister, Amber Sheffield (Jeff); nephews/niece Grayson, Kasey, Bradley, Hannah; in-laws, Charles and Linda Rice; a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins; and sister by heart Heather Crisp. Karl was a brother to many and a friend to all. We extend our deepest gratitude to VCU Medical Center for their support in our hours of need.
