FAIRBORN — Sunrise Sept. 5, 1986 – Sunset Jan. 29, 2016. On January 29, 2016 our son Steven Thomas Riley began his journey into eternal peace. He had a love for family and had many friends. Most of all he was a loving Daddy to his daughter Olivia Joy Noelle Riley. Steve will be missed many. He knew no strangers. He was preceded in death by grandparents Pat & Bruce Riley, great grandparents Evelyn & Tom Toliver. He leaves to too hold his memories until we reunite with him: Parents Mark & Denise Riley, daughter Olivia Joy Riley, and special friend Barbara Castor, maternal grandparents Ronald & Bonnie Brown, Paternal grandparents Gloria & Sam Miller, special aunt DeAnn Chrum, uncles David (Donna) Brown, Daniel (Carrie) Brown, and Doug (Janell) Brown, first playmate special cousin Joshua (Sarah) Chrum, and 11 cousins. A light went out in Fairborn and a big smile and red beard are gone forever. Fly high and be free Steven. We love you.

Steve was always a friend, he was always there when I didn't even know I needed him. He helped me through tough times, and always seemed to be smiling about life. He was great person, I'm sorry for your loss.

Dear Mark and Denise,

We are so very sorry about your loss. Early in our marriage nearly sixty years ago, we were very close to Pat and Bruce, and have many fond memories of those years.

Since then. time and distance have separated us, but memories remain very strong.

Dearest Denise, I had the great pleasure to meet you and work with you but one day over the Christmas holiday this past December. Oh what a beautiful spirit surrounds the person you are. Please know there won't be a single day that you're not tucked deeply inside the pocket of my heart, and if there's ever anything I can personally do for you please don't hesitate to ask. Praying that you know there's an ocean of love pouring out toward you at this very moment in time.

Truly you are loved.
Most Sincerely, Joanna Cubit FHS
