Celebrating the Life of Raina Noel Rivera

On New Year’s day, Raina Noel Rivera, was suddenly taken from us. Raina passed away in her sleep and sadly her cause of death is still unknown. Raina, a beautiful soul, had just started a new chapter in her life by courageously taking a huge leap of faith, leaving California, to establish new roots in Michigan a little more than a year ago. From the snowy weather, new friends, and new places to explore, Raina had a new twinkle in her eye that can only be described as hope. Just having celebrated her 39th birthday, she was excited about new opportunities and was adjusting and building her new life as she was tragically taken from us.

Raina’s parents, Marianne and Rich Biner, her two children, Kaleb and Zeke, Ricky Rivera, and all of her family and friends are now facing an unimaginable loss. As her family navigates this difficult time, we hope to rally together as a community of family and friends to help ease the financial burden of unexpected costs, provide for her two children, and allow them to focus on celebrating Raina’s life.

Raina was a skilled creator of content, art and photography. And, her abilities knew no bounds. She translated the world and the untold stories into raw, beautiful, and edgy pieces of art and content that she shared unafraid with her followers, friends and family. Since she was little girl, her parents marveled at the beauty and solace that she created for herself and others through her art. She has touched the lives of countless people that found safety, acceptance and beauty in Raina’s words and art. She will be deeply missed by many.

Her family finds peace in Raina’s artistic legacy, which will honor her memory always. Any contribution, big or small, will make a difference. Even if you’re unable to give, sharing this page and spreading the word means so much to us.

Thank you for helping us celebrate Raina’s life. Details for Raina’s Celebration of life event will be communicated.

With love and gratitude,

The Biners and Riveras
