Thomas Barry Rivenbark, Jr. of Willard left this life way to soon on Wednesday, March 2, 2022, from Vidant Medical Center in Greenville.

He was born on November 8, 1996, in New Hanover County and was the son of Thomas Rivenbark, Sr. and Becky Jane Mick Rivenbark of Willard.  Thomas was preceded in death by his grandmother Faye Rivenbark.

Thomas was a member of Penderlea Fire Department.

Surviving to cherish his memory is his loving wife Belle Faith Jordan; son Brantley Rivenbark; siblings, Shawn Prax, Timothy Prax, Andy Prax and Kelly Rivenbark and Jonathan Finch and his wife Selena; special nephew, Jackson; "2nd Mom" Angie Williams; his in-laws Brian and Kelly Jordan, and Anna Jordan; numerous nieces, nephews, extended family and friends that loved Thomas dearly.

Thomas was a devoted husband and caring father, son and brother who loved his family.  He loved being outdoors and enjoyed fishing, boating, and camping. Thomas especially enjoyed dirt bike riding with his friends.  He was a special young man who loved and trusted everyone.  Thomas was always trying to be strong because he didn't want anyone to worry about his health condition.  That's just the kind of person he was; loving, kind and thoughtful.  Thomas will surely be missed but everyone who knew and loved him will never forget his love and courage.
