In Loving Memory of Mike Ridkes

Perhaps one of the funniest people we’ve ever met, Mike Ridkes or “Ridkes” to friends, was a pleasure to know and spend time with. It’s with heavy hearts we acknowledge his passing. Ridkes passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, March 5th and we are heartbroken by this loss.

Ridkes was a loving husband, an incredible father, and the most loyal friend anyone could ask for. He had a huge heart and his contagious smile could light up any room he walked into. He was always there for his family and friends, ready to help, offer words of encouragement, or to roast the shit out of you. Ridkes had a way of making everyone feel special and loved, and his generosity knew no bounds.

Ridkes was a kind and loving person who touched the lives of many and he will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

We have set up this GoFundMe page to help alleviate the financial burden on his family (Diane, Micaela, and Joseph) during this difficult time. Any amount, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. Your generous contribution will go towards short-term bills/expenses.

Thank you in advance for your love and support. Please keep the Ridkes’ family in your thoughts and prayers as we grieve the loss of our friend, Ridkes.
