With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Jose Antonio Rivera (Tony), a loving son, father, and brother. Born September 9, 1967 – January 29, 2026.

Tony loved his family deeply and would have protected them with his life. He showed his love by cooking delicious meals and handcrafting wooden boxes and detailed wooden ships-creations he was so proud of and that reflected his talent and care.

Rest in peace, dear Tony.
