Evalin Leticia Rivera

Evalin Leticia Rivera, 17, was born on April 9, 2007, in Houston, Texas, and passed away on March 29, 2025, in Houston, Texas.

Rivera, Jr.; her mother, Crystal Marie Ayala; her brother, Ezequiel "Eze" Peña; her sisters, Tania Rivera and Mieracle Ayala; her grandmother, Mama E; her paternal grandmother, Leticia Rivera; her maternal grandparents, Gary Roger Duarte, Sr. and Anna Marie Ayala; as well as numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, and a host of cherished friends.
