Conner Cade Rizer

Conner Cade Rizer passed away suddenly on July 2, 2026, leaving family and friends heartbroken by his loss but eternally grateful for the time they shared with him.

Conner was known to many as a hardworking man whose dedication and good heart touched the lives of everyone who knew him. He approached life with an unwavering work ethic—devoting his career to welding, a trade he embraced with pride and skill. Whether at work or in his personal pursuits, Conner brought a purity of character that was evident in his every action. Family and friends recall how he always had a ready smile and a light-hearted nature that lifted spirits and made any gathering brighter.

Conner’s love for life was also reflected in his passions. He cherished working on cars, finding both challenge and joy in every project he undertook. The gym became a second home for Conner, a place to push boundaries and find strength. Fishing brought him peace and reflection, and playing video games offered laughter and camaraderie with those closest to him.

Above all, Conner treasured the bonds with his family and friends. He loved his brothers deeply and held a special place in his heart for Jadyn, his confidante, companion and his everything. He was a devoted son to his mother, Christy Rizer, and his father, Jonathan Rizer, and a caring brother to Micheal Rizer, Mitchell Rizer, Destiny Jones, and Ashlyn Jones. He was also a proud grandson of John and Regina Rizer, known as "Mimi" and "Papa"; grandfather Ralph Noblitt, affectionately known as "Papa Punk"; and grandfather Tommy Goodbread.  Conner valued the warmth and support of his extended family as well. He is survived by his brothers-in-law, Walker and Dalton Starling, and his mother and father-in-law, Cynthia and Joey Starling. Special friends and companions like "Bear," Conner, and Jadyn's dog, who will forever remember the joy he brought into their lives. Conner leaves behind numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will miss him dearly. 

Conner’s memory will also be honored by remembering those who have gone before him, including his grandmothers Karen Noblitt and Marie Goodbread and cousin, Courtney Burdeshaw.
