JACEY DAVID RILEY

KINGSFORD — Jacey David Riley, 16, of Kingsford, passed away on Tuesday, July 10, 2018, at St. Vincent Hospital in Green Bay, Wis.

He was born Oct. 24, 2001, in Iron Mountain, the son of Joel and Jimmie Lyn Riley. Jacey completed his sophomore year at Kingsford High School and was a member of the golf team. He loved everything about “The good ol’ days:” antiques, all different genres of music, but especially 40’s-60’s music, and old Ford pickups. He loved spending time with his family no matter what they did or where they went. He especially loved the trips out west and going to leather shops.

He respected and loved his elders. He had planned to join the military and later join the union and someday build the family’s house together with the help of the wood shop he wanted.

He loved to build things like his favorite actor, Nick Offerman. He also loved Chris Pratt and Steve Carrell. He loved camping with friends and just spending time in the outdoors enjoying the beauty that God created. He loved the nostalgia of things, truly appreciating the memory of the moment. He loved his guns and knives. Jacey was very patriotic and loved what the flag and our country stood for. He was the most thoughtful, funny and charismatic person you could have been blessed to meet. He made a huge impact on whoever he met and will leave behind many truly great friends.

Jacey had a very close bond with his sister and loved his family and friends very much. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

We love you so much Jacey ~ Mom, Dad & Angelena
