Obituary of Sean Riley

Sean Riley was born in Syracuse, NY on March 16th, 1953. He grew up in the small town of Pulaski, NY where he attended high school at Pulaski Academy and Central School, graduating in 1971.  After high school, he attended Auburn Community College and graduated from Tri-State University with a Bachelors in Accounting. He moved to Tampa Bay in 1976, where he met the two loves of his life, Carol and his career in Credit Cards.  He married Carol Ann Keppler in 1981, and the rest, as they say, is history. This would be the beginning of an amazing love story that included 3 sons, 7 dogs, 7 cats, and 40 years of countless cherished memories. Sean was kind, gentle, humorous, intelligent, thoughtful, hardworking, and an incredible example of what a dedicated Husband, Father, Brother, and Friend looks like. His integrity was unmatched. Simply put, he was the best.

We will be holding a “Celebration of Life” for Sean on Feb 6th, 2021 at Feathersound Country Club from 6 pm-9 pm, with the service starting at 6:30. We rented out a large space that also has a large outdoor area in hopes that everyone can feel comfortable attending, while also allowing space to socially distance. Masks are encouraged when indoors. We will have a short ceremony and time after to share stories, laugh, and have some drinks in Sean's memory.  We hope you can join us to celebrate such an amazing man!

We love you to the moon and back Pops. Save some space for us upstairs!
