Pablo Antonio Rivera Jr.
“If one day the speed kills me, don't cry. Because I was smiling” -Paul Walker
PJ was born on April 29, 2001 to Bonnie and Pablo Sr Rivera. Pj is a loving older brother to Ryan and Nevan. Pj shared the love of sports with his younger brothers, especially football. He helped coach them using his “tough love” method. He was a protector to his mom, grandma, and younger brothers. He loved driving and working on cars. His goal was to become an airplane mechanic which he accomplished when he got his diploma from Vaughn College in 2024. Pablo’s first love was football which he played for majority of his life, he always put his heart on the field whenever he played the game. He always made his family proud with how much hard work he put into football. For a brief time he even thought he was OBJ. Valley Stream South high school now has the “all heart award” in honor of Pablo. I can’t think of a better name for the award because Pablo was the definition of ALL HEART. Pablo loved an adrenaline rush, whether it was riding jet skies in Texas, jumping out of a plane for his dad’s birthday or his countless trips to six flags. He was a big marvel fan specifically a hulk fan. Pablo is the real life version of the hulk, a smart big teddy bear who will go to war for the people he loves. Pablo is a proud lizard daddy to his pride and joy, shadow who he shared with his girlfriend Delilah. Pablo loves the beach and vacation in general. Specifically he loved Jamaica which he “jokingly?”planned to buy a vacation home with Delilah to enjoy the pretty smelly flower from the source. Pablo was too beautiful for this earth and his beauty was needed elsewhere. He is now a beautiful angel guiding his loved ones from above.
