I only recently learned of this tragic and heartbreaking loss. SSG Rinvelt “The Terminator” was one of the finest Soldiers I have ever served with in over twenty-eight years of combined military and government service across the globe. That’s literally thousands of professional relationships and SSG Rinvelt stands in the top ten.

Furthermore he was irrefutably the most excellent paralegal I have ever served with military or civilian. Superior knowledge, relentless drive, and endless loyalty only begin to describe our brother. He was absolutely singular and in a class by himself.  

His passing is a terrible loss to many though we were all richly blessed to have known him. Go easy, brother… and be at peace. 👊🏾 🕊️ 

Rinvelt... my boy!!!! This was a shocker. I'm glad I got a chance to meet you bro. Until the last manifest; rest easy!

SSG Rinvelt, 

Your sudden departure from this world is shocking and deeply felt by me and all your former 173d teammates. The times we shared working together in Italy were truly unforgettable due to your constant stoic professionalism and attention to detail. You never wore your heart on your sleeve and you always came to the office with an amazing attitude. I only wish I could have helped shoulder the burden you carried. My prayers go out to your family.

Rest in peace brother
