He was the husband of Catherine Rivera, with whom he shared 18 years of marriage. Born in Queens, NY, he was the son of Efrain Rivera and Elizabeth Cardona of Puerto Rico. Efrain was a hardworking man who recently worked in the sales department of Yale Electric Supply Company for the past 10 years.

An avid gamer, Efrain enjoyed all types of gaming, particularly old school gaming like Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Mario Bros. He enjoyed Dungeons and Dragons all throughout his life, and passed on his love of these games to his kids. At the end of his life, he enjoyed painting miniatures and listening to his favorite band Iron Maiden.

In addition to his wife, Catherine and his parents, he is survived by 3 daughters: Arwen, Selene and Willow; his sister, Elizbeth Rivera of Puerto Rico, and his nieces: Elian, Alondra, and Amanda Berrios; his great nieces Jelianys and Jerianne, and his great nephew Emmanuel, all of whom he loved dearly.
