Raised in Cannon Co., Wiley began his love of horses at a very early age. Almost every weekend Wiley could be found in the woods on a horse. He passed the love of trail riding on to his children. A lifelong supporter of the trail horse, Wiley was a member of the Cannon County Walking Horse Association and was deeply honored when he was chosen as the 2024 Grand Marshall. He was a Christian, a lifelong farmer and a Heavy Equipment operator. Wiley had such love for his children but especially his grandchildren and gave them all a unique nickname.
