Samuel Richard Curtis Riley

Samuel Richard Curtis Riley, born March 9, 1983, in Parkersburg, WV, died April 2, 2020, in Columbus OH, at 37, with complications from the coronavirus. He was the son of Richard (Rick) Riley from Belpre OH, and the former Vickie Walton from Newport. NC, both currently of Columbus. OH. He was the grandson of Harold (deceased) and Helen Rector Riley, and Vic (deceased) and Aloma Hutton Walton. He is survived by his brothers and their families; Jesse and Stephanie (Henry) Riley and their children Victoria, Lydia, Elizabeth, and Henry of Portsmouth VA; Evan and Alyssa (Sundin) Riley and their daughter Cora of Raleigh NC; and William Riley of Columbus OH. Uncles and aunts include Joyce Riley Moody and husband Robert of Steubenville OH, Patty Walton Rutz of Newport NC, Donovan Walton of Parkersburg WV, and Gretchen Walton Rodriguez and husband Frank of Cherry Point NC. Several cousins in Ohio, West Virginia, and North Carolina.

He studied at Ohio Valley University, and was a student at the time of death at The Ohio State University studying geographic information systems. He was an ardent lover of culinary art, Asian culture, urban development, mapping, music (he played Spanish guitar), politics, computers and gaming. He struggled with epilepsy most of his adult life. He was a member of the Church of Christ.

He was a gentle giant of a man with the kindest nature. A friend to all. He loved his family dearly, and they loved and will miss him dearly. His thoughtfulness was as abundant as his love and his bear hugs.

A memorial service is to be announced, most likely with a memorial in Parkersburg WV after the current pandemic has subsided. A stone will be placed in Evergreen Cemetery of South Parkersburg. In lieu of flowers, donations would be appreciated to your local epilepsy foundation.
