Kenneth W. Riley, of Bearden, AR was born September 22, 1952, and passed away Tuesday, December 2, 2025, at his home in Bearden.

Ken was a graduate of Camden High School and Ouachita Baptist University.   He enjoyed his long banking career beginning with First Federal Savings and Loan in Camden and ending with Bank of Bearden.

If you knew Ken, then you knew his animals were family.   He rescued numerous dogs and cats over the years.   His soft heart for them could not refuse a need.   His farm animals were also dear to his heart.   He loved caring for them and showing them off to anyone that stopped by.

Ken was a good friend and neighbor to many.   If there was a need in the community, he was going to help in any way he could.   He loved giving to Mission funds and any child that asked him to help with a fundraiser.   Ken's laughter was contagious and his smile the biggest when he was with friends.

Ken was preceded in death by his parents, Louie A. and Elaine Wilson Riley.   He leaves behind many close friends that considered him family and will miss him every day.

Graveside services will be held Sunday, Dec 7, 3:00 pm at Memorial Park Cemetery in Camden, AR.
