On the morning of May 20th, 2023, John B. Riggin of Cheyenne, passed away at the age of 78, after a long battle with congenital heart failure. John was born on December 6, 1944, in Alamosa, CO to Harriet and John Riggin. After serving in the Navy, he moved to Cheyenne where he married his first wife. He welcomed her three children into his life and then soon had two children of their own. John was a hard-working truck driver for more than 40 years and finally retired in 2008.
John loved classic cars and upon retirement was able to restore and show a beautiful ’53 Ford pickup. He was well known for his sense of humor and his ability to make people laugh with his great storytelling.
John was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his twin sister Martha and big sister Sue; son Cory; daughter Kelley; stepchildren Clair, Kayla, and Chris; and his sweet love Anna.
