Adam Rivas Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 31, 2025.
Adam Luis Rivas, 43, passed away on October 27, 2025, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Born on November 29, 1981, in the same city he called home throughout his life, Adam's presence left a lasting impact on all who knew him.

Adam was a devoted husband to Lauren, his wife and best friend. Their bond was a source of deep comfort and strength for him. He found joy and pride with his children Nolan and Mariah. His love for his family extended to his parents, Martha and Ernesto Rivas; his big sister Telli (Marta) brother in law to Frank and Grace; his baby sister Ariel; and his cherished niece Mya.

He was preceded in death by Tina Hirthe (Mother of his son Nolan) and his beloved grandparents Martha & Lupe Ledesma and Eloisa & Nicholas Rivas.

Adam had a passion for sports that brought him both excitement and community. A loyal fan of the Milwaukee Bucks and Green Bay Packers. He also loved playing pick-up basketball whenever he could-those games were more than just sport; they were moments of connection and joy.

Above all else, Adam treasured time spent with those closest to him. His heart belonged to his family-his kids, wife, sisters, and parents-and he carried that love with him in everything he did.

May Adam's memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved him.
