Phillip Riley

Phillip Stuart Riley, 71, passed away on January 28, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Born on June 11, 1954, in Homestead, Florida, Phillip was the son of Albert and Mary Riley. He grew up alongside his siblings Beverly and Morgan, all of whom preceded him in death.

Phillip dedicated over four and a half decades to the airline industry, beginning his career with Hughes Air West and continuing through its transitions to Northwest Airlines and ultimately Delta Airlines. His commitment and longevity in the field were a testament to his work ethic and resilience. He retired in 2020 after more than 45 years of service.

He is survived by his ex-wife Patricia and two children, Jacob and Holly and three grandchildren, Angelina, Aria, and Athan.

Phillip had a deep love for music that remained a constant throughout his life. Whether at home or out in public, he never hesitated to sing when the mood struck him.

In accordance with his wishes, no service will be held.

May his memory bring comfort to those who knew him.
