Pedro Rivera was more than just our Assistant Manager at Teddy’s by the Sea; he was a dear friend, a steady presence, and a beloved member of our community since the day we opened eight years ago. For over 40 years, Pedro’s friendship with Juan and his dedication to those around him shaped the spirit of our team. He cared deeply about everyone he worked with, always proud of what we were building together. Outside of work, Pedro was a devoted grandfather to his granddaughter Isabella, and his love for his family was evident in everything he did.

Tragically, Pedro passed away this afternoon in an accident, leaving his family and friends heartbroken. Because of the unexpected nature of his passing, his family was not prepared to cover the costs of funeral and memorial services. This loss is not only shocking, but it has left his loved ones facing difficult decisions during an already painful time.

We are raising funds to help Pedro’s 92-year-old mother, his brother, and his sons put him to rest and honor his memory. Your support will go directly toward funeral and memorial expenses, easing the burden on his family as they navigate this loss. Pedro touched so many people at Teddy’s and as a friend, we’re hoping those whom he touched will feel inspired to help. Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and help us celebrate Pedro’s life and legacy.
