Darin Kizer Obituary
May 12, 1973 – January 1, 2025
Darin was a focused individual, wholeheartedly pursuing his passions. Whether it was bicycle racing, achieving his PhD in organic chemistry, or hiking the Muir Trail, his enthusiasm was contagious.
He was also known for his love of gourmet cooking, which everyone around him enjoyed. However, his greatest passion was being the devoted father of his two sons. Darin and his sons enjoyed camping and kayaking together.
He is survived by his two sons, William Kizer and Rory Kizer, his brothers Richard Roux (Margaret) and Scott Roux (Trina), stepfather Richard Roux, stepmother Sue Kizer, uncle Steve Myrick (Mandy), and loving companion to the end, Robyn Shultz. He was predeceased by his mother Marlene Roux and father Robert Kizer.
Darin will be greatly missed and in our hearts forever.
