James Cecil Riner II

Cecil was born March 28, 1982 in Naples. He graduated from Gulf Coast High School in 2000. Cecil played varsity football for several years. He met the love of his life, Jessica, their senior year and they married in 2004. They went on to have four sons. He spent all of his spare time with family and friends. Cecil was a loving father that enjoyed riding 4-wheelers and playing football with his “little bears” most of all. Even after a hard days work he would go outside and pass the football with the kids. He was a part of the SINN racing team and traveled internationally racing 4-wheelers. He was also a Team Florida captain for Monster Jam Quad Wars. His extensive network of friends centers around his passion for racing.

Cecil was a genuine family man. He always put his kids before anyone else. They were his pride and joy. He coached Landen’s football team, attended every single game, and loved every minute of it. He loved his wife so much. Cecil was an attentive and devoted husband. He is such an enormous loss to them.

Cecil is known by many for the help he provided to others. He often did community outreach for people in need. He worked at Lowes for 15 years, most recently as the store manager of the south Naples store. He truly loved helping solve any problems. Whether he was fixing a 4-wheeler or dealing with a customer complaint he always gave 110%. Cecil always had a hello and a big ole’ smile on his face for everyone. He will be sorely missed by all.

He is survived by his wife Jessica, and his sons Landen (11), Garret (8), Carsen (7), Braden (4), father Jimmy, brother Johnny, niece Meagan, grandmother Mary Lou, grandmother Annie Mae Buchanan, many cousins, aunts, uncles, and thousands of friends.

Calling hours are Friday December 18th from 5:15-8:00 pm at First Baptist Church. Funeral services will be held Saturday December 19th 11:00 am at Living Word Family Church. Immediately following will be a Celebration of Cecil’s life at The Florida Sports Park. All are welcome to attend.
