Elliott was born on November 5, 1961, son to parents Eliodoro "Elliott" Rivera Rivera, and Carmen E. Rios Collazo. He was a US Army Veteran and had great passion for race cars but mostly for his 'Negra' as he called his RX7. But he had another passion and it was to help others, he was a great Human being, who touched the lives of many. Not just family but also the lives of friends, and racing associates. Also, as a Sponsor for NA and graduate from Hogar Crea, he volunteered to help others from addiction recovery. He gave his time, love and service unconditionally.
