Christopher "Chris" Patrick Riley age 29 of Wirtz passed away on Sunday, April 12, 2026 at his home. Anyone who knew Chris knows he was always the life of the party. There was never a dull moment when he was around. He was the most incredible, caring, hands on father. In his spare time he could be found chasing his son around the yard, playing tag or hide and seek. He loved golfing with his friends or teaching his son to swing a golf club on the course. He loved spending time with his friends and family. He was an avid outdoorsman and loved everything from riding ATVs to hunting and fishing. He was truly one of a kind and he will be missed beyond measure.
Chris is survived by his mother, Gabriele Riley, father, Daniel Riley; girlfriend, Kaylah Robinson; his son, Carson Riley and unborn baby girl due to arrive in June; aunt, Monika Sutter; uncle, Hans-Juergen Sutter (Petra); cousins, Carl White and Steven White.
Funeral services will be conducted 2 PM Friday, April 17, 2026 at Conner-Bowman Funeral Chapel with Pastor Rick Poland officiating. His family will receive friends on Thursday from 5 to 7 PM at the funeral home.
