Calvin Riley Memorial

Calvin Michael Riley passed away tragically on Saturday, August 6, 2016 in San Francisco, CA. He was a loving kind son, brother, grandchild, cousin and friend. Everyone that knew him loved him. He was passionate about everything from his love for baseball, coaching alongside his father, playing video games with his siblings, listening to country music and loved making others laugh. He loved all Boston sports, especially the Red Sox and the Patriots. Calvin was born in Lowell, MA where he played little league at Callery Park, winning three City Championships. He attended and graduated St-Jeanne D'arc School. Following graduation, he moved with his family to San Mateo, CA to follow his dream of playing baseball at Junipero Serra High School. Calvin graduated in 2015 and was a proud forever Padre. As an avid baseball player, he was recruited by San Joaquin Delta College and came in to fill in as a pitcher helping take the team to the State Final. Calvin was well on his way to achieving all of his goals. On the baseball field he was a coach's dream. A selfless player that would do anything for his team. He came to Delta as a switch hitting shortstop but unselfishly gave that up to become a pitcher because we needed a closer. He was the ultimate competitor. A hard-nosed player who wanted the ball in the toughest situations. The guy you wanted to be on the mound to get the final three outs of the game. An inspirational LEADER who could lead by example and vocally. Calvin is still our LEADER and his LEGACY will never die. ONCE A MUSTANG, ALWAYS A MUSTANG.
