John E. Kizer

June 13, 1937 - August 27, 2012
In Memorial

A memorial service is being planned for Saturday, June 15th at 11 a.m. in the New Oakhill Cemetery Chapel, located on South Michigan Street in Plymouth for former resident, John Erwin Kizer, who passed away on August 27th of last year after a lengthy battle with cancer.
John was born in Plymouth, IN., on June 13, 1937. He was the son of Marshall Force and Lucille Jane Erwin Kizer.
He graduated from Plymouth High School in 1955, and attended Notre Dame University before graduating from the University of Arizona and attending graduate school at Purdue University.
John farmed the Kizer family farms for years before retiring to Tucson, AZ., in the late 1990’s. While there he enjoyed many of his favorite activities including reading, hiking, tennis, golf, cards and dancing.
John is survived by one daughter, Karin Lynn Kizer and her husband Dan Cantu of Alexandria, VA., and by one son, Kevin John Kizer and his partner, Robert McFarland of Atlanta, GA. A granddaughter, Katherine Alexandra Kizer Cantu survives along with John’s two sisters, Carolyn Kizer McClure and partner Jonathon Hardin of Plymouth, IN., and Elizabeth (Robert) Luther of Knoxville, TN. John’s long time companion Marie Boyce and her family survives as well.
In lieu of flowers, donations on John’s behalf may be made to the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org) or friends of Sabino Canyon, (www.sabinocanyon.org).

    Dear Kizer Family,

    I\’m saddened to see of your loss. Although I didn\’t know John, I remember other members of your family such as Betsy and Carolyn.
    My father, Ray Taber, was a good friend of Marshall\’s and I once had the privilege of serving as his page in Indianapolis along with my cousin. I remember that day well!
    My condolences to the entire family.
