Raymond E Rivet

Raymond E Rivet, a cherished family man, respected former Capital Police Officer, and an enthusiastic member of his community, passed away peacefully on November 4, 2025, in Titusville, Florida. Born on August 19, 1959, in Camp Springs, Maryland, Raymond lived a life marked by dedication, joy, and the love of those around him.

Raymond's early years in Maryland laid the foundation for a life of service and commitment. His career as a Capital Police Officer in Washington D.C. was a testament to his unwavering dedication to the safety and well-being of others. His colleagues remember him as a man of integrity and courage, who served with honor until his retirement. Raymond's sense of duty was matched only by his warmth and generosity, traits that endeared him to all who knew him.

After his retirement, Raymond found solace and happiness in the warm embrace of Port St. John, Florida. It was here that he became a proud member of the Elks Lodge, where he formed lasting friendships and continued to contribute to the community he loved. His passion for life was evident in his love for football, as he never missed a chance to cheer on his favorite team, the Washington Redskins. The roar of engines and the thrill of the race also captured his heart, as he was an avid fan of NASCAR, with Dale Jarrett being his favored driver.

Above all, Raymond's family was the center of his world. He was a devoted son, loving father, and doting grandfather. Though preceded in death by his beloved mother Peggy Rivet and his wife Robin Rivet, with whom he shared 15 wonderful years of marriage, his legacy lives on through his family. His father, Chuck Rivet, continues to carry the family torch with pride. Raymond's children, Nicole Rivet (Stephen Early) and Chris Rivet (Danae), will forever cherish the lessons and love he imparted. His grandchildren, Makayla, Carter, Ava, and Elliott, will grow up with stories of their grandfather's kindness and strength. His brothers, Butch Rivet (Sissy) and Mark Rivet, will hold onto the memories of brotherhood and the bonds that only siblings share.

Raymond's love for his dog Duck was a source of comfort and joy in his life. The two were inseparable companions, sharing in the simple pleasures of life. Duck's loyal presence provided Raymond with a sense of peace and friendship that was truly special.
