Rivera’s girlfriend, Nyasia Almodovar said on a GoFundMe page created to help with funeral expenses as he was a father of four children.
“He was a good person, the biggest heart anyone could have, and he lit up every room he walked in with the biggest smile and his jokes. Luis was a father, a boyfriend, a son, a amazing uncle and brother,” Almodovar said.
