In Honor Of Adam Rivera
We were deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Adam Rivera, who passed away by suicide last October. Adam was a remarkable individual whose life was marked by service and compassion.
We were deeply saddened by the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Adam Rivera, who passed away by suicide last October. Adam was not only a vital part of the CirrusMD family but also a proud Navy veteran who embodied the values of service, dedication, and compassion. His family and our team have decided to be more open about his struggle, believing that by being honest about his journey, we can help break the stigma surrounding mental health and veteran suicide.
In Adam's memory, we have created a charity page through Mission 22, an organization dedicated to supporting veterans and their families. This is our way of paying tribute to Adam's life and legacy, ensuring that his spirit of giving continues to make a difference. We hope that by sharing his story, we can inspire others to seek the help they need and to know they are not alone in their battles.
About Adam Rivera
Adam was, first and foremost, a beloved son, brother, and uncle. He was fiercely loyal, quietly strong, and deeply caring — someone whose presence made others feel supported, safe, and seen. He served his country with honor as a member of the United States Navy and carried that same dedication into every part of his life. Adam gave so much of himself to others — through service, through friendship, and simply by being there when it mattered most.
Despite the challenges life presented him from an early age, Adam faced them with courage, determination, and heart. He was more than the weight he carried — he was thoughtful, funny, generous, and loved without measure. His passing is a loss that leaves an ache we will always feel. In honoring his life, we choose to remember the strength he showed, the love he gave, and the impact he had on those lucky enough to know him. We remember him, not for how his story ended, but for how fully and beautifully he lived.
