He is survived by his life partner, Miriam Serrano; brothers, Robert Rivas, Fausto Rivas, Luis Rivas, Carlos Rivas, Jonny Rivas, and Julio Rivas; sisters, Angie Rivas and Nora Rivas; daughters, Tonya Rivas Adams and son-in-law Tommy Adams, Adela Rivas, and Virginia Rivas; bonus daughter, Migdalia Rodriguez; sons, Raul Rivas, Adrian Rivas, Eddie Rivas, and Christopher Rivas; bonus sons, Luis Negron, Danny Rivera, Richie Caban, and German Rodriguez. He was a proud grandfather to Monica Neal, Ryan Spells, Alyssa Rivas-Adams, Jade Vericella, Mariah Rivas, Cash Rivas, Roland Rivas, Amaya Rivas, and Elijah Rivas; and great-grandfather to Brentlee, Brysen, and Brodie.

He was preceded in death by his father, Antonio Rivas; mother, Josephine Arroyo; sister, Rosa Rivas; and grandson, Kyle Vericella.

Services: Visitation will be held on Thursday, December 11, 2025, from 4:00–6:00 PM, with a service to follow at 6:00 PM at Haisley Funeral Home, Fort Pierce.
