Christopher Lee Kiser

Palmer, MA- Christopher Lee Kiser, 69, passed away June 21, 2026. He was born on December 30, 1956, in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, to James L. and Rosemary C. (Keifline). Above all, Chris was a man who deeply cherished his family. He loved spending time with them and found his greatest joy in their presence—whether sharing stories, offering quiet support, or simply being together. Chris also had an exceptional passion for all sports and possessed an impressive knowledge of players and their statistics. He enjoyed amusement parks and riding roller coasters—a love that began with his very first job as a roller coaster attendant at Riverside Park in Agawam. 

Chris is survived by his three adult children, Aaron James “AJ” Kiser of AZ, and Colin and Ryan Kiser both of CA; his parents, James and Rosemary Kiser; siblings, Jimmy Kiser, Kimberly Serrenho and her husband John, David Kiser and his wife Jana, and Karen Nyenkamp and her husband Robert, his three grandchildren, Alden, Zoe and Emberly; and his friend and companion Leslee Eatherly. Chris was preceded in death by his wife Rebecca Kiser (Rekdahl) and will be greatly missed by all. A celebration of Chris’ life will be scheduled on a future date.
