Jermaine Francis Riles, Sr. was born to the union of the late Freddie Lee Riles and Edna Mae Grogan-Riles on August 20, 1973. He was the oldest of 6 children. He was educated in the St. Mary Parish School System. He was baptized at a young age at Special Providence Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. C. E. Baptiste.

Jermaine was a loving and caring son, father, grandfather, brother and friend. He had a generous heart and would help anyone in need. One of his favorite passions was watching the Dallas Cowboys.

Jermaine was known as a hard worker and took pride in providing for his family. He worked for Wal-Mart Supercenter 533 in New Iberia from 2010 until his untimely death.

It is known that our Lord God never make mistakes and in his infinite wisdom deemed it timely on Monday, December 26, 2022 to call his son to eternal rest.

Although he will be sorely missed, there is peace in knowing that we can confidently say to be absent from the body is to be present with our Lord.
