The outlet reported that Josey was nervous about swimming in the windy weather but that his mom encouraged him.
Josey recalled to his dad that the boat started floating off and Rivera told him to go after it.
By the time he got to the boat, it was too late for his mom.
However,the police reported that Rivera’s last moment was a final heroic act.
The difficult thought reminds us ofanother ex of Rivera’s who offered a bittersweet tribute.
Just wrapped his 2nd production onstage with the Children’s Theatre of Charleston.
We’re all so proud of you Josey!
Keep being brave, taking risks, exploring, playing, and living your best creative life!"
