October 26, 1969 – October 21, 2025
Rodolfo Rizo Jr., age 55, entered eternal rest and went home to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on October 21, 2025.
Junior was born on October 1969, in Laredo Texas, to his loving parents, Rodolfo Montes Rizo and Rosa Maria Rizo. He grew up in Bakersfield, attending Pioneer, Sierra schools, and Foothill High School. After graduating from Adult School, he continued his education at Santa Barbara Business School. Junior dedicated many years of his life to helping others as a pharmacy technician and certified nursing assistant in the medical field.
