Charles (Chuck) Harley Riley Jr. was born October 10th 1948 in Galveston, Texas, he passed from this life on November 26th 2021 after a brief and sudden illness. Chuck was one of a kind to say the least. He never met a stranger and never was at a loss for words. You never saw him without a BIG smile. Chuck was the epitome of happiness. He was never mad, sad, or upset. If he was, you would never know it. The only time Chuck showed emotion is when he lost the love of his life Coonie. He went to her grave often to take her yellow roses. Chuck lived life to its fullest. We should all be like Chuck. We should strive to live, love, laugh and see the good in everyone. He will be missed by many.
