In Loving Memory of Travis Riddle of Cedar City, Utah: A Brilliant Mind, A Gentle Heart
CEDAR CITY, UT — The world lost a truly exceptional soul on April 8, 2025, when Travis Riddle of Cedar City passed away far too soon. At just 33 years old, Travis had already left an indelible mark on the people and places fortunate enough to be part of his journey. A beloved member of the MuleSoft Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) team, Travis was known for his sharp intellect, unshakeable work ethic, and, most of all, his incredibly kind and humble spirit.
Travis was the kind of colleague everyone wished for: brilliant but never boastful, focused yet always willing to lend a hand, and driven by a quiet passion for making technology better for everyone. His contributions to MuleSoft—and to the broader Salesforce engineering ecosystem—were significant, touching every corner of the systems he helped build and maintain. But what truly set him apart wasn’t just his technical skill—it was the deep sense of humanity and grace with which he approached his work and his life.
He had a calming presence in a high-pressure environment. Whether troubleshooting critical outages or mentoring junior engineers, Travis radiated patience, clarity, and respect. His teammates consistently described him as someone who made even the most chaotic days feel manageable.
But beyond his professional achievements, Travis was so much more. He was a son, a brother, a friend, and a quiet but steadfast force of good in the lives of those who knew him. In Cedar City, he was a familiar face to many—a thoughtful neighbor, an avid problem-solver, and someone who never hesitated to put others before himself.
His passing has created a deep void—not just in the world of tech, but in the hearts of those who knew the man behind the keyboard. The ripple effect of his kindness, compassion, and dedication will continue to echo through his team, his community, and the lives of those who counted on him.
As we grieve this tremendous loss, we are reminded of the importance of connection, of kindness, and of lifting one another up during life’s most difficult moments. Travis would be the first to offer help, and now it is our turn to extend the same support to his family and loved ones.
Let us come together in this time of sorrow to celebrate Travis’s life, remember his many contributions, and surround his family with compassion. Every message of support, every shared memory, and every small gesture of love can make a real difference.
Details regarding memorial services and how to contribute to any support or memorial fund will be shared as they become available.
In honoring Travis’s memory, consider doing what he did best: help someone in need, speak gently, listen with intention, and never stop learning. His legacy lives on in the values he embodied, the systems he strengthened, and the people he inspired.
Rest in peace, Travis Riddle. You were a light in many lives, and though you’ve left this world far too soon, your presence will never be forgotten.
