Obituary of Ryley Micheal Gallaway

Ryley Micheal Gallaway was born March 13, 2007 in Red Deer, Alberta. He came out letting the world know he had arrived. His big sisters, Savannah and Shayanne absolutely adored him and now they had a younger brother to torment and love. Very early in life he developed a look that made you question “What kind of trouble is he brewing next?” He had the most contagious smile and a laugh that could light up any room. He wore that smile every day.

Ryley attended Consort school and had just started grade 12. When he wasn’t in school, he worked with Robert Polson at Prairie Fire Paint and with Bruce Kelts on the farm.

Ryley loved anything that had wheels and a motor. He got his first driving violation at age 10 riding his straight piped lawn mower around town.

He worked hard, played hard and stressed his mama out on a daily basis. We will never forget his epic wrap around when he had his dancing shoes on. He lived every day to the fullest - if you asked Jamie where’s Ryley? she would say, who knows he’s out living his best life! He would do anything for his friends.

He figured if you weren’t first, you were last. He loved his truck; it was his prized possession with his dirt bike not far behind. Ryley and his dad were always working on them together to make them look better and go faster. He loved joking to his mom that he could out drive her.

He loved his parents, and he loved his big sisters with all his heart. His family was important to him as well as his large group of close friends. Ryley was loved by everyone that knew him.

We will miss his big warm heart and his radiant infectious smile. Safe travels, our dear Ryley. 

Ryley is survived by his mom. Jamie; sisters, Savannah and Shayanne; father, Kim (Crystal) and children Connor, Ryleigh and Ashlyn; grandparents, Neil and Cheryl Benedict; grandma, Susan Bowyer; as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins as well as a huge group of friends.

He was predeceased by his grandfather, Ross Gallaway.
