Darrell DeWayne Ridge

Darrell DeWayne Ridge passed away on Tuesday,  June 11, 2024, about 10:45 a.m., at his home. He was on his hospice bed holding his wife, Anne C. Patterson's hand when he took his last breath. He fought cancer with all his might, and even beat it once. This time, Jesus said it was time to come home.

Darrell was born and grew up in Minnesota. He moved to New Mexico and met Anne and in 2014. They were married in 2021. Darrell’s Christian faith got him through hard times and enhanced the happy times. Darrell loved working on and showing off his Chevy Camaro Ridge Runner II and it won him many awards. He was proud of his NASA certifications and the work he did in the space industry. He loved fishing, “wrastling” as he called it, football, and his Minnesota Vikings and Twins.

Darrell had a fun, cantankerous personality that we will miss dearly. Thank you for blessing and sharing in his life.
