Skyler Riker
1996 -2016
Lowell - Skyler Jakeoby-Lynn Riker, 19, passed away on May 7, 2016 at CaroMont Regional Medical Center.
Skyler was born in Marshall, Michigan on September 22, 1996.
He is preceded in death by his brother, Jakeob Johnson, grandmother, Mary Chantrenne; and aunt Judi Riker
Skyler had a strong passion for helping the homeless and others less fortunate. Even at an early age, he was known for his "trunk of love." He grew up in Lowell, NC and graduated in 2014 from Bronson High School where he was known as a "Class Clown." He wrestled and played football where he participated in State Tournaments. Skyler had attended Belmont Abby College and dreamed of becoming a history teacher one day. He loved beautiful girls and enjoyed lifting weights; he was a great cook and enjoyed eating as well! Skyler will be greatly missed by everyone that knew him. He was the kind of young man that anyone would be proud to call son, brother, grandson and friend.
Skyler is survived by his mother Bambe Riker-Ealey (Christopher); brothers, Dustin Johnson (Chrissen) and Zaccory Chantrenne; sisters, Brittany Gerrin and Brianne Rabideau; grandparents, Lynda Bocanegra (Crispin), Oscar Chantrenne, Carol McCullough (Brian) and Everette Riker (Gladys); his dads, Scott Travis (Pam) and Patrick Chantrenne; a biological father Richard Rabideau; niece, Chevelle and nephew, Slater; many aunts, uncles and too many friends to mention and his beloved dog "Baxter"
