Randy M. Rivera Obituary
Randy M. Rivera affectionately known as "Dolla" was born on Sept 26, 1985 in Chicago, IL. He passed away suddenly on December 6, 2023. Randy was only 38 years old.
Randy is survived by his parents Morel and Victoria Rivera, his brother Morel and sister in-law Jennifer, his nieces Sophia, Emma, and Olivia and by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and loving friends.
He was a former student at Saint Edwards School and attended Lane Tech College Prep Highschool. He worked for years at VCG Uniform and most recently at Quality Elevator Products.
Randy was known as a kind soul that would always be there. He showed his love by showing up and hanging out. You would often find him feeding his pet Axolotls, tailgating at a White Sox's game, making a road trip to New Diggings, sitting on the bar stool at Blacktooths, screaming loudly at his niece's Muay Thia tournament, or just walking into your house with a large box of donuts on Sunday morning.
While Randy may have only been with us for a short time, he will be remembered for all the fun times and amazing memories he has left us with.

Randy M. Rivera, conocido cariñosamente como "Dolla", nació el 26 de Septiembre de 1985 en Chicago, Illinois. Falleció repentinamente el 6 de Diciembre de 2023. Randy tenía solo 38 años.
A Randy le sobreviven sus padres Morel y Victoria Rivera, su hermano Morel y su cuñada Jennifer, sus sobrinas Sophia, Emma y Olivia y muchas tías, tíos, primos y amigos cariñosos.
Fue alumno de la escuela Saint Edwards y asistió a la escuela secundaria Lane Tech College Prep Highschool. Trabajó muchos años en VCG Uniform y, más recientemente, en Quality Elevator Products.
Randy era conocido como un alma amable que siempre estaría ahí. Mostró su amor apareciendo y pasando el rato. A menudo lo encontrabas alimentando a sus mascotas axolotl, asistiendo a un juego de los Medias Blancas, haciendo un viaje por carretera a New Diggings, sentado en el taburete del Blacktooths, gritando en voz alta en el torneo de Muay Thia de su sobrina, o simplemente entrando a tu casa con una gran caja de donas el domingo por la mañana.
Randy estuvo con nosotros por poco tiempo, será recordado por todos los momentos divertidos y los recuerdos increíbles que nos ha dejado.
