In Loving Memory of Joao Baptista Tavares

August 28, 1953 – July 27, 2025

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Joao Baptista Tavares, who departed this life peacefully on July 27, 2025.

Born in Vila Franca, Portugal, to Maria and Antonio Riquinha, Joao was also a loving brother to Conceição, Maria, and Natalia—a bond he held dearly. He was the beloved husband of Adriana, with whom he shared a beautiful life filled with love and commitment. Together, they raised four cherished children: Nancy (Marco), Lucy (Joe), Joshua (Amanda), and Claire (Kevin), and were blessed with eight adored grandchildren: Nicholas, Bianca, Francesco, Vincenzo, Presley, Thomas, Philip, and Adrian.

Joao worked tirelessly to provide a better life for those he loved and his legacy lives on in each of us. He faced his battle with cancer with unwavering strength and courage and we find comfort in knowing he rests now in the arms of the Lord.

Em Memória de Joao Baptista Tavares

28 de Agosto de 1953 – 27 de Julho de 2025

É com profundo pesar que anunciamos o falecimento de Joao Baptista Tavares, que partiu em paz no dia 27 de julho de 2025.

Nascido em Vila Franca, Portugal, filho de Maria e António Riquinha, Joao foi também um irmão carinhoso para Conceição, Maria e Natália — laços que sempre guardou com muito amor. Foi o amado esposo de Adriana, com quem partilhou uma vida bela, repleta de amor e dedicação.Juntos, criaram quatro filhos queridos: Nancy (Marco), Lucy (Joe), Joshua (Amanda) e Claire (Kevin), e foram abençoados com oito netos adorados: Nicholas, Bianca, Francesco, Vincenzo, Presley, Thomas, Philip e Adrian.

Joao trabalhou incansavelmente para proporcionar uma vida melhor àqueles que amava, e o seu legado vive em cada um de nós. Enfrentou a sua luta contra o câncer com uma força e coragem inabaláveis, e encontramos consolo em saber que agora descansa nos braços do Senhor.
