Wilburn married Jackie (Phillips) Riley on January 30, 1963. The couple enjoyed motorcycling around the country, hunting and fishing. They welcomed four children, two daughters and two sons. Wilburn was blessed enough to find love twice in his lifetime. On January 19, 1991, he married Myrle (Smith) Riley. They enjoyed all the same things, as well as camping with family and friends. Wilburn made many good memories with all his buddies at the Poor Girls Diner. He was a jack of all trades and wore many hats. He pulled mobile homes, bought and sold cars and worked at Safeway.

He is survived by daughters, Lisa Baker and husband David of Whitehead, OK and Sheila Riley of Pauls Valley; sons, Brent Riley of Paoli, and Robert Franklin Riley and wife Kendra of Sulphur; brother, Leon and wife Norma of Bridge Creek; 16 grandchildren; and many great-great grandchildren.
