Riley served as an airman in the Navy before working with the sheriff’s office. Sheriff Brett Stassi said Riley deserves to be honored.

“He dedicated his whole life to the defense of others and he sacrificed his life to save others right here in this courthouse building. He represents what’s the best of us,” Stassi said.

Riley is survived by his wife and two young daughters.
