On September 12, 2025, Zak Rivera passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his family. His life was defined by strength, generosity, and love. This fund will help provide for Wesley’s education and long-term stability for Kristen and their family.

Zak lived with extraordinary courage. For more than six years, he faced colorectal cancer with determination, faith, and resilience. Through every challenge, his focus remained on the people he loved most: Kristen and Wesley. His strength was not only physical but also deeply personal, showing up as a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend even when his own needs were immense.

Zak poured his energy into his business, Focused Results, where he inspired others to grow stronger in body and spirit. He also gave selflessly to the community. Even while sick, he helped raise over $20,000 for Cocktails & Caregivers, a reflection of his constant desire to put others before himself.

He leaves behind a legacy of grit, generosity, and love. His greatest joy was his family, and his deepest hope was to secure a strong future for Kristen and Wesley.

This fund will be dedicated to:

Wesley’s education

Long-term stability for Kristen and their family

Your support will honor Zak’s life by helping to provide the future he envisioned for those he loved most. Thank you for standing with Kristen and Wesley at this time.

With gratitude,

Family and Friends of Zak Rivera
