Jaime Ernesto Rivera, known to family and friends as Jim, went to be with Our Lord on August 16, 2019 after a ten-month battle with brain cancer.
Jim was born September 5, 1939, in La Romana, Dominican Republic to Jaime and Leonora (Pierce) Rivera, making him both a citizen of the Dominican Republic and the United States.
He served in the U.S. Navy on the USS Theodore Roosevelt (SSBN – 600) a nuclear powered fleet ballistic missile submarine from 1961 to 1969. He always felt honored to have served in the United States Navy and proud to be an American Veteran.
After serving in the Navy he, his wife and children moved to Maryland where he was employed at the Baltimore Gas and Electric Company in Baltimore, Maryland. He moved with his family to St. Leonard, Maryland, in 1971 to be one of the first six shift supervisors to open the nuclear power plant in Calvert County.
He was preceded in death by his father Jaime Anthony Rivera, his mother Leonora Rivera Pierce and his grandson Austin Rivera.
He is survived by his wife Angeline, his daughter Deborah Naugle and her husband Timothy, His sons James Rivera and William Rivera, his brother Luis Rivera, three grandchildren, Amanda Tate, Neena Cassell and Henry Williams and their spouses and three great-grandchildren Mackenzie, Ethan, and Bella.
Jim enjoyed fishing and boating. What he loved most was spending time with family and friends. The grandkids and great-grandkids kept him smiling even through his cancer battle.
Everyone that knew Jim loved him. He was a man of high integrity, great character and a wonderful personality.
The family will receive friends on Friday August 23, 2019 from 10 until the time of Mass at 11 AM at St. John Vianney Catholic Church, Prince Frederick, Maryland. Interment will be private

Jim was one of the first people I met when I joined the Operations team at CCNPP. He was always smiling. He helped me learn the ropes in Ops and I truly appreciated his support. He was a wealth of knowledge and helped many by sharing his knowledge and experience. His greatest joy was his family. RIP Jim. I hope the fishing is good up in Heaven.

Jim was such a wonderful friend and neighbor. I always enjoyed seeing him work so hard on his yard. His yard was a picture straight out of Better Homes and Gardens. He was always willing to help with anything at anytime. Prayers and hugs to Angie and his family.

Angie,
Kim and I were saddened to learn of Jim passing. I met Jim in 1980 and had the pleasure of working for him and with him until his retirement. He was a great leader and willing to share his knowledge for the betterment of all. I remember his sense of humor and how quick he was to laugh. Our prayers go out to you and your family.
