Riley Christopher Smith, 21, of Carol Stream. Beloved son, brother and uncle. Dear son of Kendra Saltzmann, and Mark Smith and step-son of Michael DeLio; loving brother of Tabitha Ambroggio (Keith), Cora Smith (Matthew), Jackie DeLio, Jessica DeLio (Nicholas); cherished grandson of Anne Saltzmann, and Susan and Raymond Smith; uncle of Angelo Ciccone and Malcolm Weide, and a niece on the way; nephew of Aunt Robyn Thorsen (Al), and cousin of Mitchell Thorsen (Ally) and Allie Thorsen (Casey) as well as many more cousins and extended family. He is preceded in death by his grandfather Robert and great grandmother Elinor.
Riley was a lover of adventure, and was always in search of his next thrill. He enjoyed working on his vintage Mustang, riding his motorcycle with his friends, and was extremely proud of his recent promotion to assistant manager at Napa Auto Parts in Carol Stream. Riley will be missed by his large pack of friends that were all such an important part of his life.

I met Riley through my brother in law, Jaiden, they were best buddies for years. Riley was the kindest, sweetest person. He was always there with our family for life´s important events. He might have been quiet, but he was there. He was generous and thoughtful, always a pleasure to be around. I always looked forward to seeing him. I was merely an acquaintance, but I can say he will truly be missed. To Riley´s family, I´m so sorry. I hope friends, family and love from Riley´s world hold you up and help bring peace.
