On 27 November, TSgt Eduardo Rivas, his wife, and their two small children – packed up and headed out of town for Thanksgiving break.  Shortly after departing Fayetteville, their vehicle hydroplaned and crashed into the guardrail. With no one injured in his vehicle, Eduardo got out to assess the damage to their car. At that time, another driver lost control and fatally struck TSgt Rivas. Unfortunately, this horrific accident played out directly in front of the entire Rivas family.


Eduardo leaves behind his loving wife Millie, his son Julian, and their daughter Valerie. As a Comm NCO, TSgt Rivas was assigned to the 682 ASOC at Pope Field, NC. He was a friend to many and a valuable member of the TACP Community.


Please consider donating to the TSgt Rivas Memorial Fund – 100% of the donations will go directly to the family.
