Edwin's obituary
Edwin "Jincho" Rivera Santos, age 41, of Allentown, PA passed away unexpectedly on 01/21/2024. He is survived by his parents, Ronald Rivera and Elba Santos, siblings: Ronald (wife, Shalonda Rivera), Elizabeth, Ramon, Erick, and Joselyn Rivera, children: Misael Rivera, Zanniyah Rosado, Xavier Rosado, Zionel Rivera, Maya Rivera, and Anais Rivera, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles who loved him dearly.

Born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Edwin grew up in Allentown where he attended Allen High School. Edwin enjoyed listening to music and tinkering with electronics. He may have had some struggles, but Edwin lived life fearlessly and to the fullest. He loved his kids and would do anything for his friends and family. Edwin made everyone who knew him laugh, cry, and clap at all the stories he shared. Our family is grateful to know that Edwin is finally at peace.
We are working on getting the Celebration of Life planned and will update our memorial website with that info as soon as we have it. Thank you so much for your continuous love and support as we navigate through this difficult time.
