Calvin Anthony Riley On June 17, 2016 our loving Husband, Father and Grandfather completed his mortal mission and returned to our Father in Heaven. Born to Walter Colquet and Marvelle Morgan Riley on January 23, 1943 in Alamosa Colorado. He was the eldest of seven children. Dad was raised in Alamosa Colorado and Clearfield Utah. After graduating from Davis High School, Dad served a two year LDS mission to the Northwest Indians, in Montana and South Dakota. After his mission Dad enlisted into the United States Navy and was trained as a Seebee. He served his country for four years, with two tours in Vietnam. Soon after returning home he met and married his sweat heart Marcene Sue Worley on October 30, 1970 in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they resided in Clearfield and raised five children. To Dad anyone who entered his home became part of the family, which resulted in countless “foster” children. Dad was an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, serving in many callings and at the time of his passing he was a High Priest. Dad loved Scouting and served as Varsity Coach for the Special Needs Mutual for 13 years. Dad worked at HAFB for 30 years until retiring. But he couldn’t stay idle, he then worked for Davis County School District, Medicine Shoppe, and Island View Pharmacy as a delivery driver.
