Niki Taylor Riggio, 31, of Port Charlotte, Florida died Sunday, September 27, 2026.

Niki was born on July 6, 1995 in Port Charlotte, Florida. From the day she was born her light shined brightly. Growing up wasn’t easy but she managed to grow into a beautiful soul. She touched so many lives in our community in her short time on this Earth. Niki was always the life of the party in any room she entered. She loved Taco Bell, Pickles and ice-cold beer. Some of our favorite memories of her include her dancing and singing around the room being the free spirit she always was. She knew almost every word of every song that would play and loved music of all kinds. You could always count on her to bring joy to any situation; she knew how to put a smile on everyone’s face. She lit the way for many people despite the darkness that consumed her. Her light still shines brightly and will forever be a beacon for everyone that loves her.

Niki’s memory lives on through her loving family, her mother, Dawn Riggio of Cape Coral FL; two sisters, Brandy Weaver of North Port FL, and Misty Riggio of Miami FL; a brother, Damon Cornman of Port Charlotte FL; and her aunt and uncle, Denise & Ray Thorburn of Port Charlotte FL; as well as cousins and many, many friends.

Niki’s celebration of life will be held at 5:00PM, Saturday, October 17, 2026 at Beef ‘O’ Brady’s on Taylor Rd in Punta Gorda, FL.
