Justin John Riley

Now free from his lifelong struggle with cerebral palsy and innumerable surgical procedures, our beautiful brother, son, nephew, cousin and best friend, departed this world in peace and comfort in the early hours on Friday, January 26, 2018 at Utah Valley Hospital. He had been struggling with illness and infection which ultimately overwhelmed his disabled body but freed his luminous spirit. Justin was born three months premature at LDS Hospital in Salt Lake City on October 20, 1993 to Mark Riley and Tifani Holden, and subsequently underwent extensive medical treatment at Primary Childrens and Shriners Hospitals. In spite of the physical adversity he faced, he exhibited the utmost strength, courage and resilience which he imparted to all who knew and loved him. His smile lit up our world, his laughter brought us all together in love; he was and is eternally adored by all who were blessed to be touched by his divine presence. We will forever cherish, and remember the lessons of tolerance, patience and unconditional love that we carry with us daily. We wish to give a very special thanks to Topham’s Tiny Tots in Orem for the love and compassionate care they have provided Justin in his later life, our appreciation is incalculable. Justin has been preceded in death by his Grandma Sharon, Uncle Tim, Uncle Stan, Uncle Rick and Brother Jared. He is survived by his parents, Tifani Holden and Mark (Treasa) Riley. His siblings, Rhett, Chase, Colton and Brittany. As well as Grandparents, many Aunts, Uncles,  Cousins and friends.
