Jordan Z. Rizzo

Jordan Zachary Rizzo, 20, of Manheim, passed away on Saturday, February 7, 2026.

Born and raised in Lancaster, he was the beloved son of Darrel and Kara (Warfel) Smith and Marc Rizzo.

Jordan was a bright light whose presence brought joy to everyone who knew him. A 2024 graduate of Manheim Central, he was driven, motivated, and full of life. Following graduation, Jordan created a successful career as a real estate agent with Keller Williams Elite, where his natural charm and ability to connect with others shone through. Jordan, a natural athlete, loved playing football, wrestling, baseball, golfing, snowboarding, and surfing year-round. Jordan enjoyed boating with his family and loved riding around on his jet ski. Jordan enjoyed traveling with his family and his friends. He loved trying new restaurants and checking out new locations. Jordan was a motivated gym guy, working out and showing everyone his flex. He enjoyed long runs even if it was dark out or raining. Jordan, a true Philadelphia Eagles fan, attended their games and parades. Jordan attended Calvary Church where he was involved in their C4 program. At his most recent men’s retreat he made such an impression. He lived his life with charisma, love, kindness, and faith. Jordan’s bubbly personality and big smile could light up any room he walked into. He gave the best hugs. Charming and genuine, Jordan always saw the best in everyone he met and made people feel valued and cared for.

Jordan had an incredible bond with his siblings, Genevieve and Lincoln. A devoted brother, he was always teaching them anything athletic, the power of confidence and self-love. Jordan enjoyed spending his time with his siblings, sharing the importance of being genuine, compassionate and loving to others. We are going to miss him walking in the door and giving us his big hug and the light that shone through him as he updated us on his life. Jordan loved his family deeply.
