Rufus's obituary

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Rufus Kessler III, born March 2, 1983, who departed this life on February 8, 2026. A man of great integrity and love, Rufus's compassion and kindness will be deeply missed by all who knew him.

Rufus is survived by his beloved mother, Robin Stivers, who will continue to honor his memory. His life was a testament to the enduring strength of love and family, and his legacy will live on in the hearts of those who loved him.

As we mourn the loss of Rufus, we also celebrate the love and tenderness he brought to our lives. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
