Obituary

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our dearest Jose Manuel DeSousa; beloved husband and father. God called him home on Tuesday, May 6th, 2025. Jose was born in Sao Miguel, Azores in 1949 and passed away peacefully at 76 years of age, surrounded by his wife and daughters.
Jose will be missed but lives on through his daughters, Jennifer and Michelle whom he held so dear and loved fiercely. His greatest love was for his wife, Aurelina (Lina). Together they raised a family and loved each other for 44 years.
Jose will be fondly remembered by all his extended family and friends. He will continue to guide us. May he rest in God’s eternal peace.
