Little Silver resident and Christian Brothers Academy graduate Brian Ronald Riddle passed away on June 7 at Monmouth Medical Center. He was 52.

“Brian was not only loved by his family, but also by his many friends.
He made friends wherever he went, and they usually became lifelong pals.
He loved to hold court, offer a ‘How ya doing,’ and never failed to make everyone’s day a little bit better.
Brian was full of life, with a smile that lit up the room.
He will be deeply missed by so many.
