May the Lord shine bright upon you and keep you all in His sight.
Riley was one of my boys also. As Momma Dale I knew my young people. A smile came quickly to his bright face and his heart went out to my son who had lost a father. His character was soft , full of pride, encouraging and loving and laughter bubbled forth whenever he was around. Hold you head high and walk with courage and pride just as Riley would have wished. Always try to do the right thing and have respect. May he have the wings of an angel and the charisma of his smile always keep you in the light leading us all home.
My prayers, comfort, love and understanding,
Momma Dale

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I've only known Riley for a short period of time I met Riley about a year ago while he was employed at the Embassy Suites Hotel. He was a sweet young man who always made you smile no matter what kind of day you were having. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

May God be with you during this time. My family and I are praying for your family! Riley was one of my good friends. He was always there to put a smile on your face and he had a great personality. He always had great conversation. We were in sports medicine class together at Phoebus. The teacher had to separate us because we were always talking!! Riley and I had long conversations on the phone all the time. Riley was my buddy. He will be greatly missed and he is truely loved. Im sorry I could not attend the candle light, I am in school. but he is always in my prayers and he will be always remeber. Remember God is always wwith you! May he keep you and order his steps in his word.

Hello: I'm so very sorry about your loss and will keep you and family in much prayer. Also, my maiden name is DEAS and my father's people mostly are from Florence & Bennettsville, SC. Years ago, due to job shortage, many of the moved to Philly, Baltimore, Columbia, Charlotte, NY, etc. If you think there's a connection, please let me know. My email is below. I have another funeral I'm committed to but really would like to connect and also explore possible blood-relations if you're interested. Again, I'm so very sorry about your loss. Stay strong in the Lord, for His grace is truly sufficient, and He will substain and keep you. Respectfully,

JOB 1:21 "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there.
The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD".
Thinking of you in these moments, just hold the HAND of our CREATOR. "He bruises, but He binds up; He wonds, but HIS hands make whole".
Love,

I didn't know you too long but what I did know about you was that you were an excellent being with a wonderful personality and I will never forget you. Thank you for keeping me company those many times when I would wait for Jadyn to get off of the school bus. I will definately miss you. May you rest in peace and continue to keep me company. Love your girl Jasmine
