FELIX RIVERA-FLORES

FELIX RIVERA-FLORES LIVED A LIFE DEFINED BY SERVICE, STRENGTH, DEVOTION AND EXTRAORDINARY LOVE FOR HIS FAMILY. A DEVOTED HUSBAND TO HIS BELOVED WIFE F MORE THAN 50 YEARS, MARITZA, HE WAS THE PROUD FATHER OF FOUR DAUGHTERS AND THE ADORING GRANDFATHER OF NINE GRANDCHILDREN.

FELIX SERVED HIS COUNTRY WITH HONOR FOR 21 YEARS, 6 MONTHS AND 17 DAYS IN THE UNITED STATES ARMY, RETIRING AT THE RANK OF MASTER SERGEANT. YET, OF ALL THE TITLES HE CARRIED, NONE MEANT MORE TO HIM THAN HUSBAND, FATHER AND GRANDFATHER.

FIERCELY PROTECTIVE AND ENDLESSLY GENEROUS, FELIX MADE SURE HIS FAMILY ALWAYS FELT SAFE, LOVED, AND CARED FOR. BENEATH HIS STRENGTH WAS A TENDER HEART--SO MUCH SO THAT FAMILY GATHERINGS CAME WITH AN UNOFFICIAL RULE THAT FELIX SHOULD NOT GIVE SPEECHES, BECAUSE HIS LOVE FOR HIS FAMILY WOULD INEVITABLY BRING HIM TO TEARS.

HE WILL BE REMEMBERED FOR THE FAMILY HE BUILT, THE COUNTRY HE SERVED, THE DAUGHTERS HE PROTECTED, THE GRANDCHILDREN HE ADORED, AND THE LAUGHTER AND LOVE HE SHARED SO FREELY.

FELIX WAS PRECEDED BY HIS MOTHER, ROSAURA RIVERA, AND HIS BROTHERS, JOSE FELIX RIVERA AND CRISTOBAL RIVERA. HE IS SURVIVED BY MARITZA, HIS DAUGHTERS AND GRANDCHILDREN, HIS FATHER FELIX RIVERA, SR., AND HIS SISTERS, SYLVIA, SONIA, IRIS, AND DELIA, AND MANY RELATIVES AND FRIENDS.
