John Dale Riley, 68, passed from this earthly world on November 10, 2020 at his Hohenwald home. Mr. Riley was born in Lewis County on December 19, 1951 to the late John Wesley and Margie Nell Brewer Riley. Along with his parents he was preceded in death by a sister, Robbie Riley; and two brothers, Ricky and Michael Riley. Mr. John married the love of his life Deborah on March 12, 1973 and raised three wonderful children together.

He was a contractor with Riley Remodeling which he owned and operated to this day. John was musically inclined. At the age of 13 he was already playing shows in local venues. There was not an instrument he could not play. If you have had the pleasure of meeting John, you know he had a smile that could light up any room.

Along with his wife of 47 years, John is survived by his children Michelle (Tracy) Henard, Chris (Josette) Riley, and Meghan (Robert) Benitez; siblings Don Riley, Teresa Hinson, Glenda Rippeto, Cindy Keating, Debbie Davis, and Sharon Jeanie Riley Roman; and eleven grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held Friday, November 13, 2020 beginning at 1:00 pm at Freedom Holy Temple. Brother Glen Floyd will be officiating.
