He was born in Hamilton, Ohio on May 5, 1970 to Earl Riley Sr. and Lillian Riley. Earl graduated from New Miami High School and was the owner and operator of Riley’s Auto Care. He enjoyed working on cars, riding his Harley motorcycle and having bonfires with friends and family along with his devoted spouse Anita.

Earl is survived by the love of his life, Anita Baron; his sister and brother-in-law, Vicky (Riley) Gibson and Jerry Gibson; his stepchildren, Ellen Baron, Ellissa Baron, and Jennifer (Jake) Benz; his five step grandchildren; his nephew, Jonathan Tyler Baker; his garage cat, Diesel; and many friends and relatives.
