Riley Wade Lawson was born September 13, 1997, in Ada, Oklahoma.  He left this world suddenly on March 6, 2022, in Oxnard, California, at the age of 24. Riley graduated from High School in Belton, Missouri and received a certification in Auto Mechanics and Electronics from Cass County Career Center.  After high school, he joined the United States Navy to become a Seabee.  He was stationed in Port Hueneme, California for 5 years. During that time, he worked as a Construction Mechanic and spent time in Okinawa on deployment.

Riley is survived by his parents, Christie P. Eads and Clinton J. Eads, a brother Tanner Eads, a sister, Kennedy Eads. In addition to, his biological father Tommy Lawson, his grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and a host of good friends.

Although Riley had a short life, it was a life surrounded by family love, many friends, and his military brothers and sisters. His hobbies included riding dirt bikes, camping, hiking, and he had a special love for animals, especially his beloved dog, Daffodil. His favorite weekend interests were watching Anime and eating authentic ramen noodles with his military buddies. Riley enjoyed cooking and going out to eat with friends.

Riley's love was unconditional, no matter your faults he would accept you. He had a big heart and loved deeply and made sure everyone around him was happy. He always had a smile on his face and laughed at the lamest jokes because he wanted people to feel accepted. He was ready to stick up for the underdog and was loyal to the core. Riley had a vibe that always made you feel safe and comfortable. He had something familiar that attracted people to him.
