Kevin Riese was an unforgettable, endearing, and charismatic person. He was also incessantly goofy. Delivering smiles and laughter was his favorite pastime, even at his own expense. He was also a passionate listener, with an immense backlog of stories to match any occasion, often bordering the taboo.

Kevin loved his friends and family, and he loved the Lord. He was lucky enough to call two Churches home. Kempville Chapel Old Time Methodist, where he found God in 2011, and Chief Cornerstone Christian Center (C4!!!), where he was studying to become a deacon.

The greatest joy in his life was fatherhood. He loved his boys more than life and was proud of every accomplishment, great or small. He married the love of his life in June 2013, and loved her without reason or pause until his last breath. He also took so much pride in working hard for his boys, and deeply loved his Cooper's Hawk family as well. We will forever miss his love, his stories, his laughter, and even his snoring.

Kevin is survived by his loving wife, Kris Riese, as well as his three sons and daughter in love, Austin and Emily Riese, Noah Winn, and Samuel Riese. Also, his mother, Nancy Riese, brother Daniel Riese, sister and brother-in-law Jennifer and Larry Atkins, and nieces Faith Atkins and Maverick Winn. Additionally numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins. He is joining in Glory many loved ones, including his father, Bob Riese, and his precious baby girl, Francheska Riese.

Help his family celebrate his life Saturday February 10, 2024, from 5:30 pm to 9:00 pm at the Knights of Columbus in Griffith, 1400 S Broad Street. Service at 6 pm.
