Funeral Service Pays Tribute to Riley Strain
Riley Strain‘s loved ones are bidding farewell.
One week after the discovery of the University of Missouri student’s body in the Cumberland River in Nashville, TN, his family held his funeral service on March 29 in Springfield, Mo.
According to his obituary, his burial will be done privately at a later date. The memorial on March 29 included a visitation at 11 a.m. CT, followed by a celebration of life at 2 p.m. CT. Riley’s family requested attendees to wear green and “dress comfortably” to pay tribute to the 22-year-old’s zest for life.
Green held a special significance for Riley, as his family shared his belief that “Green makes you look good.”
The young college student, who was majoring in business and financial planning at Mizzou, disappeared during a Delta Chi fraternity trip to Nashville on March 8. He was last spotted by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department after being asked to leave Luke Bryan’s Luke’s 32 Bridge Bar around 9 p.m. that night.
