Ernesto Ricky Rivera

November 29, 1987 - October 28, 2018

Ernesto Ricky Rivera, 30 of Trenton has been accepted into God's loving embrace on October 28, 2018 at St. Francis Medical Center. Born in Trenton, NJ, “Ricky” as he was affectionately referred to by his family and friends was a lifelong area resident. A creative artist who loved to write and rap his own lyrics and had an extreme passion for expressing himself through body art, as those that knew him loved all of his tattoos! If he did not have a remote in his hands playing video games, we would be enjoying slices of pizza and slurping on a grape Sonic Slushie with extra nerds. Ricky was an avid fan of the Denver Broncos football team and Oklahoma City Thunder basketball and collected baseball caps and sneakers. Ernesto is predeceased by his grandfather Angel Rivera. Left to cherish his wonderful memory are his loving grandparents, Ana Celia, Ruben and Cynthia Roman, caring mother and father; Maritzell and Wesley Starr, young children; Zhaniyah, Lorenzo, Bella, and Larea Rivera, siblings; Michael Rivera, Lynette Morales (Drew Ramsey), Alexandra Rivera, Daj'e Livingston, and Zaire Starr, Uncle Miguel Rivera (Rosie), aunt Carmen Deleo, nieces and nephews; “Tone”, “K”, “Lee”, “Jay”, “Little Mike”, “Pop”, Leland, Jaello, Nevaeh, Blake, Brice, as well as his best friend and companion Aurora Ingram and her daughter Kaylani Castro will miss him deeply. Funeral Services will be held Thursday; November 1, 2018 from 6:00pm-9:00pm at the Chiacchio Southview Funeral Home, 990 South Broad Street (Rte 206), Trenton NJ 08611(parking facility and handicap access located directly behind the funeral home).
