William Issac “Buddy” Giddens, age 77, of Wallace, left this earthly life for his eternal rest on Saturday, August 8, 2020.
Mr. Giddens was born on January 10, 1943 in Pender County. He was the son of the late William Gray and Mary Sherman Giddens. He was also predeceased by his sister, Sylvia Stallings.
Mr. Giddens worked as a bridge worker for the state of NC for over 30 years. After his retirement with the state, he was employed with the Town of Garner, where he worked several years until he retired permanently.
Surviving to cherish his memory are his devoted children, Greylon Giddens and wife, Pansy and Gwen Maready and husband, Bryant, all of Wallace; grandchildren, Kaylan Giddens of Wallace, Dustin Raynor and fiancé, Shelly of Richlands, Nick Maready of Wallace, Branden Maready and wife, Brittani of Benson and Kassie Maready and fiancé, Bobby of Mt Olive; great granddaughter, Avery Pope of Mt Olive; brothers, Kenneth Giddens and wife, Linda of Goldsboro, and Charles Giddens and wife, Nancy of Willard; sisters, Freda Moore of Warsaw, Sharon Hilton and husband, Lynn of Warsaw and Jean Puderbach and husband, Jack of Turkey and numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.
William was a loving and caring father, grandfather and brother who loved his family dearly. He was a hard worker and great provider for his family throughout the years. “Buddy”, as he was affectionately called, would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need. He enjoyed talking on his CB radio where he met many CB friends who called him by his handle, “Road Buster”. With a witty and fun-loving personality, Buddy love to joke and always had something going on. He loved to laugh and make others laugh also. Most of all, his greatest joy was spending time with his family whether it be by phone or visiting with them in person. Buddy will surely be missed but treasured memories of him will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved him.
Graveside service will be held on Wednesday, August 12, 2020 at 11:00am at Giddens Cemetery, NC Hwy 11, Willard.
The family will receive friends from 10:45am to 11:00am, on Wednesday at Giddens Cemetery.
