Give Basil Colin Riley the Farewell He Deserves

Help Us Honor Basil Colin Riley — A Selfless Man, A Loving Father

We’re reaching out with heavy hearts as our beloved Basil Colin Riley is being taken off life support soon. He has fought courageously through cancer and kidney failure, but the time to say goodbye is near.

Colin is more than just a stepdad — he’s been a rock, a protector, and a true father from the very beginning. He raised his stepdaughters Jaime, Sarah, and Sydney as his own, alongside his daughter Allison. He is a deeply devoted husband to Susan, who has stood by his side with love and strength through every step of this heartbreaking journey.

Colin is a man defined by selflessness, intelligence, and compassion. He gave endlessly to others and lived a life centered around providing for his family and helping those in need. He also carries the memory of his first wife, who passed away from cancer — a loss that shaped his deep empathy and care for others.

As the family prepares for the unimaginable, we’re asking for help to raise between $5,000 and $10,000 to cover funeral costs and give Colin the farewell he deserves. We hope to take this burden off his loved ones so they can focus on grieving and remembering the incredible man he is.

Any amount helps, and every share matters. Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this devastating time.
