MICHAEL SCOTT RIDER REDDOOR obituary

Michael Scott "Tuck" Rider Reddoor of Rocky Boy, 5, died May 9, 2010, after a drowning accident on Lower Box Elder Creek near Box Elder. He was born June 8, 2004, in Browning, Mont., (sharing the same birthday as his greatgrandma) to Mavis Reddoor and Blair Rider Jr. Michael was a gift from heaven and was entrusted to Brandy Reddoor to be his mother. Michael was a kindergardener at Box Elder School who enjoyed playing outside with his siblings, playing video games, his favorite Guitar Hero and Rock Band. He had the cutest little smile, and his eyes just litup a room. He liked watching "CSI" with his mother and singing the theme song. But most of all he loved wrestling with his uncle. Some of his favorite cartoon characters were Sponge Bob and Phineas and Ferb. He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Marlin J. Reddoor; great-grandparents George and Lola Sutherland, and great-grandparents Basil Rider Sr. And Yvonne Rider.
