It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Ron Rivera a beloved husband, son, brother and friend, who courageously battled stage 4 brain cancer for almost 2 years. He was a 9 year retired Army Veteran who served this country in one of its darkest moments. He was a first responder at the pentagon on the tragic day of 9/11. And had many more amazing accomplishments throughout his time.
He passed away on June 2nd at 6:17 pm surrounded by loved ones, leaving behind his devoted wife, Haley Rivera and adventurous dogs Molly & LC.
Throughout his fight, Ron Rivera showed extraordinary strength, resilience, and grace. He was known for his kindness, his unwavering love for his family, and his ability to bring light to those around him—even in the darkest moments. He always wanted everyone to have a good time and put smiles on other’s faces.
We are creating this fundraiser to help support Haley Rivera and the family during this incredibly difficult time. The funds raised will go toward:
• Funeral and memorial expenses
• Outstanding medical bills
• Daily living expenses as Haley navigates this new reality.
If you are able, any donation—no matter how small—will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to give at this time, please consider sharing this page with others who may be able to help.
We are so grateful for the love, prayers, and support from all who knew and loved Ron Rivera. He will be deeply missed, and we are committed to keeping his memory alive through love, compassion, and community.
With love and gratitude,
Haley Rivera & Family
