He is survived by his wife, Cathy of 37 years of marriage; daughter, Michaela; son, Micah; mother, Donna Riley; sisters, Neddra Crease, Sherry Devine, Brenda Carnathan, and America Koll; and brothers, Kerry and Brent Riley.

Michael was a Godly husband, father, son and brother. His prayer throughout his illness was "God please let my wife and kids use this terrible situation to witness to people and give glory to God. If one person comes to Christ because my Cancer, then this was worth it."

A private homegoing celebration will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, cards, letters and memorial donations may be sent to The Mike Riley Family, P.O. Box 9252, Akron, OH 44305.
