It is with deep gratitude that we announce the passing of TSGT. John Riley.  A devoted stepfather, cherished husband, brother, and steadfast friend, but most of all, a proud veteran who left us peacefully on January 11, 2026, at the age of 58.

He was born on August 11, 1967, in Wellington, Kansas. John grew up with a strong sense of duty, and he had unwavering integrity, dedication, and compassion that he not only valued but also used as a guide throughout his life.

He answered the call to serve his country by joining the United States Air Force, where he dedicated 20 years of his time to protect our freedom. His dedicated service blessed him with excursions to Turkey, Bolivia, Korea, and other parts of the world. John has always carried the discipline and HONOR of his military years into every aspect of his life.\

Beyond his uniform and HONOR are wrestling food but most of all the casino I can honestly say he was always risking something, either it be his life at war, trying to deal with his loud, crazy daughter cause of course neither one of us was never wrong, or I'm sitting in his walker at those dang machines battling for his money back (LOL) he was always willing and ready to take a risk on any battlefield before he would allow anyone else. John is survived by his Sister Dana Johnson and her 3 children and grandchildren, his brother Bill Riley and his two daughters His brother-in-law Lance Hansford and his son Thad Parker, his stepson Cameron Rogers and his stepdaughters Alissa Rogers and Lindsey Johnson he's also survived by his grandchildren; Riley Anderson Leah Rivers and her daughter Leilani Trevor Rivers Ava Williams LJ Williams Nevaeh Johnson Lexie Johnson Ravel Johnson Zenovia Johnson Chance Connor and Zoe Rogers.

He will be reunited in eternal peace with both his parents, his Grandmother, his Wife Melissa Riley, his daughter, Anita "Kinsley" Dobbins; his 2 grand kids, Tanysha Williams and Levar Johnson;11 his brother-in-law, Kendrick Grover, and his mother-in-law, Anita Moore

HIS LEGACY OF SERVICE LOVE AND INTEGRITY WILL LIVE ON IN ALL THE HEARTS WHO KNEW HIM.

"A SOLDIER'S DUTY ENDS, BUT HIS LOVE AND HONOR ENDURE US FOREVER"
