NOVEMBER 4, 1972 – MAY 3, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved Carlos Alberto Andrade on Friday, May 3, 2024 at the age of 51. Carlos leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and unwavering dedication.
He was the cherished husband of Veronica for 28 years, a loving father to Celina and Simon, a devoted son to Maria Olivia, and a dear brother to Olivia (Valentim), Jose Fernandes (Amalia), Irene (Fernando), Adriana (Moe), and Andreia (Christina). He was pre-deceased by his father, Joaquim (2023), his mother and father in law; Manuel and Rosa DaRocha and most recently - his loyal companion, Lulu.
Carlos will be deeply missed by his extended family, including his siblings-in-law Rosa (Jose), Jose Fernandes (Maria Lucia - predeceased), Merces (Arturo), Anna (Fausto – predeceased), Irene (Pedro), Carma (Ben). His memory will be cherished by numerous relatives, friends, and members of the Portuguese community, where he was actively engaged.
Carlos was a man of many passions. He found solace in the art of fishing, took joy in the culinary arts, and displayed remarkable skill in craftsmanship. Renowned for his delicious meals and his ability to build, he lovingly constructed the family home and generously assisted neighbours and family with their projects. He had a special affinity for animals and was a true friend to all creatures.
In the wake of his departure, Carlos leaves behind a void that can never be filled. His kindness, generosity, and zest for life will be fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him. May his soul find eternal peace, and may his memory continue to inspire acts of compassion and goodwill in the hearts of those who mourn his loss.
