Riley was born in Havre, Mt. on April 5, 1999 to Novalene Nelson and Ricky Baublitz. He was a chilled baby always smiling and laughing, he never was sad, always had a smile on his face. From the time he could walk he was always on the go and it never stopped until the day he was taken from us. He would walk everywhere always with headphones or a speaker with rap music on, free styling or rapping out loud as he walked. He was always helping someone whenever they needed help, no matter the size of the job or how long it took to get done. His contagious crooked smirk touched everyone's life in some way.

Riley is survived by his parents Novalene Nelson of Malta, Rick and Missy Baublitz of Chinook; Brother, Tricton Nelson and Sister, Alexis Baublitz both of Malta; Amanda Baublitz of Ohio; Grandparents, Danny and Kathy Nelson of Chinook, Leroy Baublitz of Florida; Uncle Nikita and Jessica Nelson of Malta; Aunts Nichole Nelson of Chinook, Nena and Andrew Malmend of Saco, Angel and Dan Forgie of Illinois, Tammy and Bobbie Buckley of Maryland, Tracy and Bill Hammond of Illinois; Cousins, Britney Nelson, Lilly Kephart, Aidan Zinn, Alyssa Ostrom, Alana Malmend, Dustin Ostrom, Jackson Nelson and many other cousins, aunts, and uncles, too many to name.

I loved you first and I will love you last, Fly free my bird. Love, Mommy.
