Brandon G. Rivera

Brandon G. Rivera, 27, entered into his eternal resting place on August 14, 2026. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on August 13, 1999, he was the beloved son of Julissa Virella and Angel Rivera.

After graduating from Freedom High School, Brandon attended East Stroudsburg University before entering the United States Navy, where he proudly served for five years. Upon completing his service in the U.S. Navy, Brandon left his hometown of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and relocated to Mauldin, South Carolina, where he began his career as an Aviation Technician at Lockheed Martin. During his time there, he continued to build his life, creating meaningful memories and lasting connections with the friends he made along the way.

Brandon had also returned to school and was currently pursuing his studies and career in Mechatronics, continuing to work toward his goals and future.

He leaves behind many cherished memories with his parents; his brothers, Jose Reyes Jr., affectionately known as “Joey,” Jacob Rivera, and Chandelor Rivera; as well as a large and loving family of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Brandon will also be deeply missed by his beloved fur babies, his cats, “Soup” and “Sandwich.”

Brandon was a loving and gentle soul who carried so much love for the people in his life. He will be lovingly remembered by his family and friends, and his light, love, and memory will continue to live on through all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Services will be private and held at the convenience of his family.

Arrangements are being handled by JAMES FUNERAL HOME, Bethlehem.
