Jorge Antonio Rivas

On Friday, November 18, 2022, Jorge Antonio Rivas, beloved husband, father, father-in-law, grandfather, uncle, godfather, and friend passed away at the age of 87.

Jorge was born in 1935 to Doroteo Rivas and Maria de la Paz Garay in San Miguel, El Salvador. He married the love of his life, Rosa Irma in October 1972. They raised two sons and two daughters. He was lovingly nicknamed “Papa Lolo” by his grandchildren.

Don Jorge, as most of his friends knew him, was an avid Real Madrid fan and served as a soccer referee in his younger years. He loved a good party and didn’t miss a chance to dance with his lovely wife. He was known for his sombrero, his twinkling blue eyes, his sense of humor, his laughter at a good joke and his stern look when he was serious. His family meant more to him than anything else in the world, something he often mentioned.

Jorge was preceded in death by his mother, father, his brothers Roque, Miguel Angel, Rafael, Juan Pablo, Eduardo, and Jorge Isidro. He is survived by his wife, his four children, Luis, Sylvia, Claudia, and Jaime, seven grandchildren, and several nieces and nephews. Papa Lolo was loved and admired by his family, friends, and neighbors. He will be dearly missed.
