Obituary

It is with heavy hearts and deep love that we announce the passing of our beloved Carlos (Charlie) Almeida, whose light, laughter, and music left an indelible mark on everyone who had the privilege to know him.

Charlie was more than just a presence in the room, he was the room. He wasn’t the life of the party; he was the party. With a joke always at the ready and a heart full of joy, Charlie lived to make people laugh and feel alive. His humour was infectious, his smile unforgettable, and his spirit unstoppable.

A gifted artist and a passionate musician, Charlie expressed what words could not, painting his world in colour and filling our lives with music. Whether through a melody or a spontaneous sketch, he shared his soul with us in the most beautiful, creative ways. He didn’t just create art, he was art in motion.

Charlie was the cherished son of Urania and Carlos Almeida, and the treasured brother of John, Joe, Maria, Ilda, and Danny. Deeply loved uncle to many nephews and nieces, and the father of Kai. His love for his family was deep and enduring, and he brought a special kind of light and laughter to each of our lives. He leaves behind a legacy of joy, mischief, talent, and boundless love.

Though the world feels dimmer without him, we carry forward his spark in every laugh shared, every song played, every moment of unexpected beauty. Charlie gave us the gift of joy, and we will honour him by keeping that joy alive.

Rest easy, brother. Thank you for the laughter, the music, the colour and most of all, for being you.

31 years ago, my band (Valiant Green) were looking for a singer. The other guitarist (Pete) suggested a guy he knew that he thought would fit in. For the audition, Charlie showed up with a saxophone and a jug of Portuguese wine. We didn't need the saxophone, but we needed Charlie. What a character. Charlie was a unique soul. Time had separated us, but my memories of Charlie have always brought a smile to my face. My heartfelt condolences to Charlie's family and friends. If anyone would like to see a performance of our band with front man Charlie at the 888 (Charlie's old apartment), please feel free to contact me via Instagram @mattyantha

Charlie I just can’t believe you are gone. Charlie will live on in all his friends who remember him and the unforgettable experiences just being around him brought. I’ll never forget being in Los Angeles with him, joining in on Redlight Wednesdays to back up one of his soulful songs, or just hanging around “laneway beach”. Charlie was the embodiment of joy. He could carve a breathtaking sculpture of two lovers out of a found piece of lumber, sing you a song that warms your heart or just cook you the best stew of seafood you ever had. What are we gonna do without you now bro?! Love you Charlie!!!! Like a brother. Always.

My deepest condolences to the whole family, he certainly was a happy person, but now he gone to his Eternal rest, where there is no pain or suffering, I am sure that Christ welcomed him with his loving embrace. Eternal rest grant unto him Oh Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. Be assured of my prayers for his soul and for each of you brother, sisters, nieces and nephews in this time of losing someone whom you love.
