“Riley was a friend, a brother, a son. Riley was both a larger than life rock star and a humble and giving friend,” the family wrote.
“He touched so many lives through his lyrics and through his huge heart. He treated everyone he met as a friend and he always took care of his friends.
“We will celebrate Riley’s life and never forget the great works of music, charity, and love that he left behind. You, the fans, meant so much to him, please know how special you are,” the family said, inviting fans to share their memories.

The family are also asking donations to Dallas Hope Charities, an inclusive and progressive not-for-profit supporting marginalised people in Texas.
Formed in 2008, Riley Gale was a member of Power Trip since the band first burst onto the scene.
The band released two full-length albums, 2013’s Manifest Decimation and 2017’s Nightmare Logic, with compilation album Opening Fire out in 2018, and Live in Seattle released earlier this year.
Tributes for the singer have flowed on social media today, with rapper Ice-T – who had worked with Gale on one of his band Body Count’s recent tracks – telling fans he was “devastated”.
Devastated to hear about Riley Gale’s passing. Power Trip has had a massive impact on the metal community, and Riley’s ferocious drive and passion were such a big part of why. He was a great artist, a good friend, a real one. Metal won’t be the same without him.
