Funeral Service for Chino

On October 31st, 2020 Chino suffered fatal wounds to his neck. On November 1st, 2020 his family was left with heart wrenching decision to let him gain his angel wings. He leaves behind a heartbroken family. He is survived by his 5-year son Nikolaos Rivera who was the light of his life. From the moment Nikolaos was born he gained the best friend he could ever have, his father. Chino was an amazing father who would tell anyone and everyone how amazing fatherhood was. He leaves behind a fiancée Lindsee Baez who he fell in love with 16 years ago. Together for half of their lives they made so many memories to cherish until they meet again. He is a brother to Benny, Kawa Lee, Effie, Cece, & Tati whom he loved with all of his heart. He leaves behind his mother Elsie and his father Efrain who with their love and guidance raised him to be a phenomenal man.

Chino was a friend to many, and he showed love to everyone. He was a loud, funny, energy who tried to look out for everyone. He showed love and was very loved. The purpose of this GoFundMe Me is to provide him the sendoff he deserves. But also, to provide a proper goodbye to a heartbroken family and son. So, I ask that you help us give Nikolaos a chance to celebrate his father and provide him with a goodbye so that he does not think his father left him when he walked out of that door on Halloween. Any amount helps and is appreciated. All funds from this will be going directly to his service costs. A collection for his son will be made at a later time.
