However, cancer returned in November that year and he received a second bone marrow transplant, again from his sister. He then was again in remission. But cancer returned once again.{{cite web|url=http://people.com/sports/dylan-rieder-just-wanted-his-life-back-before-dying/|title=Pro Skateboarder Dylan Rieder 'Just Wanted His Life Back' Before Dying Due to Complications from Leukemia|date=October 13, 2016|work=People|accessdate=October 13, 2016}}
Mark Oblow said in an interview for The Skateboard Mag, "he didn't die from cancer, he beat cancer twice, you know he went into remission twice, it was due to a lung infection, his spine been damaged so bad and due to issues that chemotherapy caused to his eyes and due to damage it did to his liver and his lungs and all these things" {{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jJM3OZnTlQ&t=560s|title = - YouTube|website = YouTube}}

One of the most talented and brave men... I feel blessed to have known you. Rest in peace Dylan.

The Skateboard Mag saluted Rieder, stating:
"It's hard to believe even typing this—we lost one of the best to ever step on a skateboard today. Dylan Rieder, whose flawless style, explosive power, and epic video parts influenced an entire generation and beyond, passed away today due to complications with Leukemia. Rest in peace, Dylan. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his friends and family in this unbelievably difficult time."
On October 30, Rieder's memorial was held at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Hundreds of his friends and family were in attendance as well as musical tributes were offered by Austyn Gillette, Cat Power and Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes.
On November 13, Rieder's friends and family gathered at Sandy's Oahu, Hawaii, where some of his ashes were spread out into the ocean.
On the Jason Dill episode of Epicly Later'd in 2017, Dill said Dylan's mother also gave him and William Strobeck some of Dylan's ashes. Dylan's ashes were shown next to a picture of Dill and Dylan hugging.
