It is with deepest sorrow that we share the passing of our beloved Rafael Joseph Rivera Calle, who was taken from us far too soon on December 9th, 2025 at the age of 21, as a result of a tragic motor vehicle accident.

Rafael was born on June 11th, 2004 in Hyannis, MA. From the moment he arrived he brought an undeniable light and energy into the world. He had an infectious laugh and generous heart that touched everyone he met.

He was a devoted son, brother, grandson, nephew and loyal friend. He was currently enrolled in Bristol Community College pursing a degree in Health and Science. His greatest passions included traveling to Ecuador with his family.

We will forever cherish the memory of his bright smile and caring eyes. He leaves behind his heartbroken mother, Neli Calle and father, Joseph Rivera and his little sister Jazmin Rivera.

He will be deeply missed but his memory will live on in every family gathering we share.

You will forever be loved.

Rest in eternal peace our sweet Rafael.
