Riley Christopher Smith 21 years old

Riley was a lover of adventure, and was always in search of his next thrill. He enjoyed working on his vintage Mustang, riding his motorcycle with his friends, and was extremely proud of his recent promotion to assistant manager at Napa Auto Parts in Carol Stream. Riley will be missed by his large group of friends that were all such an important part of his life.

"Riley was the kind of guy I would like to hang out with and call a friend. Such a tragic loss."
