Jack Carter-Lee Ridley

Jack Carter-Lee Ridley, age 7, of Morristown, TN & Richmond Hill, GA, was unexpectedly taken home to Heaven on Friday, February 19, 2021. Jack was riding his scooter on a road near his mothers home in Richmond Hill when he was struck by a speeding vehicle. Jack passed due to unsurvivable injuries at the hospital later that night. His father and mother were able to be with their boy and say their goodbyes.

Jack was born November 15, 2013 in Fredericksburg, VA. He loved to love, and he always made you feel loved. He enjoyed playing outsidedoing all the things boys love to doduring the beautiful Tennessee summertimes he spent with his family here. Jack loved animals, and his fur babies Blu (cat) and Jethro (dog) will miss his cuddles and food scraps. Dinosaurs, Pokemon, nerf guns, superheroes (Marvel & DC Universes), and hard-rock music were a few of Jacks favorite things. He could go into full detail about the different types of dinosaurs and Pokemon that there were, show you all the trademark moves and say all the famous tag-lines of his favorite heroes, and singquite loudlythe best of Metallica and KISS. Jacks incredibly kind heart was so true and so full.

His sweet, innocent, happy-go-lucky persona will be deeply, deeply, missed by his father, Joe Ridley; bonus mom, Makayla Ridley; baby brother, Macoy, all of Morristown, TN, as well as his mother, Emily Ridley; her fianc, Manny, and Mannys two daughters, Melanie & Delainey, of Richmond Hill, GA.
