Riley will be missed my many, His mother Shari Martens, his father Jeffrey Vandal, His uncle Darren Martens His Brothers Dylan and Dallas and there father Dan Crilly he will Also be missed by his little sister Megan Martens and by much more. Riley was a smart, outgoing, hard working young man, he was very athletic he was a great goaltender through his teenage years some would say he was the best. He was always the centre of the party from his funny sense of humor I will never forget that Christmas you changed Ron's Screensaver ( if you know you know) I am extremely proud of all your accomplishments no one knew that you were facing, just because there not achievements that were not rewarded on paper doesnt mean they were not hard acomplishments. You did things many people could not do and you can never be replaced, You truly were the best brother anyone couldve asked for, I'm gonna miss you Riley were all gonna miss you love you and have a beer with Ron up there for me, can't wait to be reunited with you again brother Rest in Paradise buddy.

Loving Lord, I grieve for the loss of my own dear brother, and as I consider the passing of time and all that has happened between us over the years, it makes me increasingly aware of the frailty of our humanity and the speed with which our mortal life is racing past.

I do thank You for the special times I had with my brother, but his loss has been a sort of wake-up call to me, and my sadness at losing someone so close to me, who was equally a special life-long friend, is tinged with the realisation that all life is incredibly fragile and fleeting, and the brief span of time that we all have is so transient, and needs to be valued and not taken so much for granted.

Lord, help me to number my days and make the best use of every minute that I have left. Help me also to value the friends and relations that I have, for none of us know the day or the hour of our own death. Lord, I know that I am going to miss my brother, but I thank You that one day we will stand together before Your throne of grace. But until that day, I pray that I may live my life in a way that is honouring to You. This I ask in Jesus' name,

Amen.
