Louis M. Rivera

He was born September 9, 1979 and is survived by his parents Rosalind and Joseph, his brother Joseph (Maria), his sister Diana (John), and his nieces and nephews Victoria, Joe, Alycia, and Jonathan.

Louis loved his family. He was caring, happy, sensitive, and a kid at heart. He was a beacon of light for all who knew him. He was employed with One Step Beyond and worked as a barista at One Revolution Coffee in the Sandra Day O’Connor Federal Courthouse in downtown Phoenix. Louis provided exceptional customer service with a friendly smile while collecting lots of tips! He definitely wore his badge proudly.

He cherished holidays, especially Halloween, movies, the beach, camping with his dad and walking the neighborhood with his mom. He was fond of all our dogs, particularly Missy, a German Shepherd. Louis may have had some challenges throughout life, though this did not stop him from being kind, funny, and electronically savvy. He was our amazing son who we loved endlessly. The world is a better place because of him. We were blessed to have him for 44 years. He left our world too soon but will forever be in our hearts.
