Rico Riddick

Rico Couzesky Riddick, age 57, of Nichols, passed away peacefully on December 30, 2025, at his residence with his family by his side. Born on January 13, 1968, in Norfolk, Virginia, Rico was the son of the late Cecil Riddick and Hoyt Carmichael and the late Doris Holloway Riddick.

He was born and raised in a large, close-knit family that remained united throughout the years, working together to help raise and support one another.

He is survived by his loving wife, Amy Teresa Daniels; his daughters, Amber Tiffany Daniels and "Coco" Riddick; his sons, Andrew Travis Daniels and Avery Tyler Daniels (Jalesha); his brothers, Cecil Riddick and Delonte Carmichael; sisters, Michelle Riddick, Donnetta Riddick, Mildred Riddick, Ethel Riddick, and Jackie Carmichael; seven grandchildren, all of whom he loved dearly.

In addition to his parents, Rico was preceded in death by his brothers, Michael Riddick, Robert Lee Riddick, and Kenyatty Carmichael, and his sisters, Emma Riddick and Carolyn Carmichael.

Rico will be remembered for his loving heart, strong family bonds, and the many memories he leaves behind. His presence will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
