Horace Williams Giddens embarked on the sea of life on September 15, 1955 in Franktown, Virginia to Rosa Mae Sturges and the late Horace Williams.
Horace attended the public schools of Northampton County, Virginia. Upon graduating he entered the United States Army in 1976. His duty required him to leave the United States, but when he returned he became a resident of New Jersey. While there he joined the New Jersey National Guard and served for ten years. Horace received an honorable discharge from both branches after serving his country for thirteen years. When Horace returned to his native home, the Eastern Shore, he gained employment with Perdue Farms and worked there for eighteen years.
Horace was a fabulous brother, he was close to his mother and his cousins. He was such a loving and hardworking man and was loved by everyone he came into contact with. Anyone that knew him, knew he was a hardcore Dallas Cowboys fan until the end. He was a joy to his family and friends and this world is a better place because he passed through it.
