Tony Rizzio Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Gladfelter Funeral Home, Inc. on Feb. 10, 2026.
Tony L. Rizzio, 61, passed away January 23, 2026. Born April 13, 1964, he was the son of Theodore Rizzio Jr. and Joan Null. Tony leaves behind many to cherish his memory including, his parents, Theodore Rizzio Jr. and Joan Null; child, James Pressel; grandchild, Quinn Pressel; siblings, Michael Rizzio and Mark Rizzio; and a host of cousins, aunts and uncles. He was preceded in death by his life partner, Cheryl. Tony found his greatest peace outdoors, where the air was fresh and the world felt simple. Whether he was fishing at dawn, tracking game through the woods, or just sitting quietly under an open sky, he was most himself in nature. The outdoors wasn't just a hobby for him, it was where he connected, reflected, and lived fully. Honoring Tony's wishes, the family will not be holding a memorial service. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the SPCA of York County in Tony's memory. Gladfelter Funeral Home, Inc is entrusted with the arrangements.
