Michael James Riddle of Muncie, Indiana passed away unexpectedly at the age of 36 on Saturday, May 29, 2021. He was born in Hartford City, Indiana on December 8, 1984 to Jeffrey Riddle and the late Valentina (Hatton) Ryan.

Michael was a loving son, brother, uncle, and nephew. He enjoyed hanging out with his friends, most of whom knew him by Mike or Mikey. He loved to spend time with family and would always offer help if he could, not only to family, but to anyone. He had a huge, loyal heart and one of the most unforgettable laughs you ever heard. When his laughter filled the room, you couldn't help but to at least smile, no matter how you were feeling at that moment. He was the quiet type until he wasn't. He also loved animals and all things living very much. He had a strong desire to always believe in more than we can imagine.

Michael is survived by his father, Jeffrey Riddle; step-mother, Tracy Riddle; brothers, Jeffrey Riddle, Jr. (Christina) of Hartford City, Indiana and Nicholas Riddle of Portland, Indiana; sister, Alissa Dodds (Mark) of Albany, Indiana; several aunts, uncles, and cousins; and several nieces and nephews.

Michael was preceded in death by his mother, Valentina (Hatton) Ryan; brother, Mikki Riddle; and grandparents, Dennis and Janet Riddle and William and Carol Gobel.
