NYPD Det. Rivera's Brother Delivers Eulogy

NYPD Det. Jason Rivera's brother delivers a eulogy during his funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral.

[@maxdegrom6907]

“Death ends a life but it does not end a relationship.” You did your brother proud and we are all indebted to him for his sacrifice. God bless Jason Rivera and your family.

That was the most profound eulogy I ever heard for a fallen police officer,God bless Jeffrey Rivera and his family and may police officer Jason Rivera rest in peace

[@marycaraccikeenan9335]

God Bless Him, he's at Peace now and in a better Place.Just as his partner too. They Worked together and no matter what they are In The Lord God's Arms together now Forever. On the Other hand the Person who Shot and took their Lives, Must Get his Just Reward, as long as he is tried and Convicted of this most vicious Crime. Also God Bless all the Police Officers who were hurt and taken from us. I WAS BROUGHT UP TO RESPECT THE POLICE. Why have Things Changed so much? There's some reasons we all need to Stand up to Starting with the People in Charge from the White House to the Court System. They must pay for all the Harm and Lies they have made the people who voted for Biden and the rest Believe, which Started this Madness. All I can say is the Police need to know we have their backs and they are they Ready to Come when they are called to Help us, so we have to be Ready to Help Them when they need it. May all the Souls of the Faithful Departed, Rest in Peace Amen! Mary

A human being. A uniform. A human being inside a uniform. Somebody's Brother. This is beyond upsetting. May Officer Rivera RIP and may God provide his loved ones inner peace and strength. 💜🇺🇲

Hugs and love to the Rivera family. You didn't deserve this horrible tragedy. My "little" brother is now 56 and he is still my little or baby brother. I know exactly what Mr Rivera is saying.

[@Methodoc]

One of the strongest speeches I've heard. RIP to your brother and condolences to you and your family. Same for the other officer.

[@FRESHALEX760]

My fellow Dominican brother, my deepest condolences to you and your family 🙏🏾 I lost two of my cousins one of them in similar fashion, those cries from my aunt and uncle haunt me to this day 🥺some of you will never truly understand how hard we love our parents and how hard they take this kinda loss… I Love my sisters! But I also always wanted a big brother like you..rip Jason 🙏🏾 rip willbert 🙏🏾 🇩🇴 #inwood #dyckman

[@michaelvalmas4510]

Manny, I've never met you, but know you're a great man, and you'll get past the cries of your ancestors by shining your light for anyone out there in need of some direction. And your ancestors will find comfort in the knowledge that the spirit of your cousins will live on, in you!

To My Brother in Blue P.O. Jason Rivera; Thank You for Your Dedicated and Honorable Service, and For Making A Positive Impact In Our City! I Know Personally How Tough it is to work at the 32 PCT, and that it takes a special kind of Officers to handle working there. P.O. Jason Rivera and his partner P.O. Wilbert Mora were that kind. Rest Assured My Brother, You Will Never Be Forgotten! MAY YOUR SOUL ETERNALLY REST IN PEACE. (J Rod 00-52, Ret.)

[@vg6790]

Seeing his brother is so heartbreaking. My condolences to this whole family 🙏💙🕊

[@benouzgane]

This tragically is similar to the 2020 New Years Eve tragedy in 2020 in Calgary. What's more important than the fact that in these cases an officer died is the pain of the siblings, spouses and other family members losing a relative

[@marilynmunro3504]

Your definition of your Brother was phenomenal. I haven't been the same since I heard the sad news. I come from a family of Law Enforcement all if us N.Y.P.D. This one is so Hard. May Jason Rest Peacefully❤❤

This is horrific, a 22 year old young man just ripped from life so senselessly. Literally for nothing. I remember being 22, my life was just beginning. It's tragic and nothing will ever bring this young man back. May his memory be a blessing to everyone who loved and cared about him.
