Remembering Bruce Rivera

On Sunday family and friends are riding their custom cars around West Palm Beach as a final farewell for Bruce Rivera. The greenacres man was killed earlier this week when he slammed into a semi on the turnpike. On Saturday, hundreds of people gather at a Royal Palm Beach funeral home, to remember a 33-year old man who died last week in a car wreck on the Turnpike. Bruce Rivera was an air conditioning tech and bar bouncer, whose hobby was creating custom cars. Mourners from all over the state and country, have come to say good-bye.

We are told Rivera knew many of these folks from the car clubs he was involved in.

Rivera's friends say he used his ties as president of the "local mini's" car club to promote safety on the roads.

He also organized fund-raisers to raise money for local blood banks, that are often in desperate need of blood. Rivera understood the importance of giving blood first-hand,

after he was in a serious accident, and needed blood a few years ago.

He was killed when he slammed his car into the back of a semi. He was not wearing his seat belt.
