Lito Esli Rivera

April 27, 1991 — January 18, 2021

Kannapolis

Lito Rivera born on April 27, 1991, in Tamaulipas, Mexico. Lito adored worship, living a prayer-filled life; any sport in general, specifically soccer, and spending time with his family and Kingdom Family.

Lito touched many lives in his time here with us and lead many to the Lord. Lito was a true servant after God's own heart. Whether it was through his homeless initiatives, baptizing friends turned disciples, or praising and worshiping around the bonfire - his goal was always to please God and build the kingdom.

Lito was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2013, after conquering 3rounds. Lito lost his 8-year fight with cancer on January 18, 2021. He is forever our heavyweight champion.
Lito is survived by his loving wife Daniela, and their grafted family that includes Damariz and Pedro.

His parents, Linda and Lalo, his sisters Kim, Roxanna, and Michelle Rivera. His niece Christina, his grandmother Kika Rivera and his aunts, uncles, cousins, and his Kingdom Family.
Lito lit the world on fire with his faith and will truly be missed. He has been faithful and has fought the good fight. We have no doubt that he will hear the cherished words"Well done my good and FAITHFUL SERVANT.

Anyone who knew Lito can agree that it was an honor to know him. He will live on in our hearts and memories. We ask that you keep his family in prayer as they charter this unfamiliar and painful territory.
