"Michael David Riley
August 17, 1952 - November 8, 2021
With profound sadness, the family announces the passing of Michael Riley, at the age of 69 years. Cherished father of Erica Riley and predeceased by his son Matthew Riley.
He is also survived by his longtime partner Cecilia Walters and her son, Nyah Walters, and his brothers Chris Riley and Steve Riley.
Mike passed away suddenly at his lakeside home in Riberas/Chapala, Mexico early morning on November 8th from a heart attack.
He will be greatly missed by his family and friends, his clients, as well as his two cats, Patches and Spunky.
Mike moved to Ajijic in 2003 with his mother Shirley, and soon after became known to the community as “Mike the Computer Guy”. A longtime technical expert, Mike helped many expats, locals, and gringos alike with their technological needs as well as editing books by local authors and designing book covers. He was passionate about music, movies, and books of all kinds, and would make people laugh with his witty banter. Mike was the funniest guy in the room and could always bring a smile to your face.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Ottawa Heart Institute or a charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family."
My family will be posting this in our local newspaper in Ottawa, Canada.
