Deangelo Rivas Obituary
Deangelo was born July 5, 1999 in Key West, Florida. He grew up in a community he loved where he enjoyed time with family and friends, but more than anything, playing sports. He spent so much time on the football field playing running back. He developed a deep passion for sports and played through high school. He made so many life-long friendships on the field that remained throughout his life. He was someone everyone gravitated towards.
Preceded in death by Mother Anitra Brown; Grandmother Oreathea Rivas Brown; Grandfather Ervin Higgs,; Great Grandfather Leroy Rivas; Great Grandmother Elizabeth Rivas; Great Uncle Irving "Sonny" Rivas
He is survived by his Bonus Parents Steve and Mindy Vinson; his siblings Jakay Mack, Demetri Rivas, Lindsey (Charles) Vazquez, Erik Vinson, Logan (Jeremy) Johnigean, Spenser Vinson, Grandparents Wayne and Wallis Holmes, Sandra Higgs, Uncles Averie Rivas, Alvin (Candice) Brown, Enrique Brown, Doug (Leslie) Holmes; Aunt Lakeisha McCoy; Great Aunts Veronica (Charles) Rivas-Butler, Aloma Rivas-McCoy, Paulette Rivas; Cousins Shanita (Keith) Rivas-Hodges, Averie (Jodi) Rivas Jr, Antonio Rivas, Alvin Brown Jr, Alyssa Brown, Orville Garvey Jr., Cruz Holmes; Nieces and Nephews Noel Vazquez, Chase Vazquez, Cousin & Godmother Destiny Rivas.
He spent his days working at the Key west Airport as a Ramp Agent for Silver Airways. Pilots and frequent passengers would light up when they saw him working their flight. While that was his job, his true passion was cooking. He made the most delicious meals for family & friends. He was the most selfless man who would give the shirt off his back for anyone. He was everyone's go-to person. Though his time on this Earth was short, the relationships, friendships and bonds he made will live on forever. He touched countless lives and left a lasting impact on the hearts of so many. The Rivas and Vinson Families are grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time.
There will be a Celebration of Life on Saturday June 7th, at 11am at the Douglas Gym.
