Loving Husband, Son, Brother, Uncle, and Friend, of Hudson, NH
Ryan Nicholas "Bid" Biddle, 45, of Hudson, NH, passed away on August 10 after suffering a heart attack while on vacation in the Azores with his family. He was the beloved husband of Sonia Marina (Borges) Biddle, with whom he would have celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary in September.
Ryan was born on October 17, 1978, in Westford, a son of Kenneth Richard Biddle and Vicky Susan (Fielding) Biddle. He was raised a n d educated in the Westford area. He graduated from Westford Academy with the Class of 1997 and studied at Middlesex Community College for some time.
He began his career working at Bay Networks, a computer networking company. Then, Ryan joined a start-up company, Right Networks, where he has enjoyed working for the past 18 years.
Ryan was an accomplished gardener, but music was in his soul. He enjoyed creating music and jamming regularly with his brother and friends. He was instrumental in the creation of an organization called "Mixedmindz"" which started with him in his 20’s. This is an organization described as a "Friendship LLC" of sorts. For the past 10 years, along with his brother, Joshua, he would "go to church" every Friday, which meant improv jamming. He welcomed everyone; musical ability was no barrier to entry, inclusive of all. All levels of musicians would come together to form something special and judgement-free. He lived with an open heart; that's what he'll be remembered for, and that will remain his legacy of love.
Besides his wife, Sonia, of Hudson, and her mother, Maria Noemia (Brum) Borges, and her partner, Carlos Dasilva of Lowell, and his parents, Ken and Vicky Biddle of Westford, he is survived by his brother, Joshua Scott Biddle, and his partner, Vicky Nicole Anson of Nashua, NH; his sister, Amber Nicole (Biddle) Hamalainen and her husband, Jeffrey John, and their daughters Evelyn Grace Hamalainen and Amelia Spring Hamalainen, all of Westford.
Additionally, he is survived by Jammy Desousa, Sandra Desousa, Andrew Desousa and Lisa Borges, all of Lowell. He was also blessed with many long-term friends and leaves behind his "Trixie".
He is predeceased by his father-in-law, the late Venancio Fernando Borges, and brother-in-law, the late Venancio Fernando "Vinny" Borges Jr.
We will surely feel the loss of our husband, son, brother, brother and son-in-law, uncle, and friend. Now, Ryan, it is your Heavenly Father who will hold you safe in his arms until we see you again.
"This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality; embrace this moment; remember we are eternal; all this pain is an illusion.”
