Dudley Riley, Jr.

Mr. Dudley Riley, Jr. passed away on Tuesday, November 1, 2022, at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing, Michigan. Age 55 years. Dudley was born October 12, 1967, in Saginaw, Michigan to Dudley and Evelyn Riley.

Dudley Jr. was a very family-oriented man, who loved life no matter what came his way. He was known for his bright beautiful smile and pretty teeth. Dudley always wanted to start his own business “GiGolo67.” Dudley was a kindhearted person. He did not have much in life, but he had a lot of love, and he had such a cool walk that you knew it was him a mile away. Dudley loved him some milk that he called ‘Loop.” He also loved his mother’s chicken and gravy over rice, and grape Kool-Aid. Dudley may have had a different lifestyle, but one thing is for sure, he was loved by many, and he had a lot of love to give. Our beloved son, brother, nephew, cousin, grandson, and uncle, Dudley Riley, Jr. will truly be missed.

Dudley Jr. leaves to cherish his memory his parents, Dudley Riley, Sr. and Evelyn Riley; six sisters, Desiree, Dementrius, Diminick, Toya, Carolyn, and Ariana; one brother, Derrick, a host of nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins; two brothers-in-law, Cecil Pulliam and Fred Murrell, Sr.; many other relatives and friends including special aunts, Josephine Billinger and Avon Quist.

Dudley Jr. was preceded in death by his grandparents; two nieces, 4 aunts, and one uncle.

The family would like to express special thanks to all near and far, and Ivan E. Phillips and the Staff of Paradise Funeral Chapel.
