The boat was struck by a large wake, causing it to turn sideways. Deputy
Riding struck his head on the boat and his partner was thrown overboard.
Other boaters assisted his partner out of the water and back onto the patrol
boat, which he immediately returned to shore. Both deputies were transported
to Mary Washington Hospital, where Deputy Ridings succumbed to his injuries.

six years. He is survived by his wife, two sons, and three grandchildren.
Both of his sons also serve as deputies with the agency. |
