Obituary

It is with great sadness that the family of João Câmara announces his passing on January 11, 2018 at the age of 69 years.  He will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Conceicao and his daughters, Diana and Grace (Ken). He will also be fondly remembered by his two granddaughters, Julia and Maya Mendonca. He will be forever remembered by his surviving mother, siblings, numerous nieces and nephews, as well as, his many friends. Joao was a lover of soccer, and an avid fan of his club FC Porto. The team will be playing Monday, January 15th and he will have the best seat in the house. Though he is no longer here in body, he will forever be with us in spirit. Until we meet again.

My deepest prayers and condolences to you and your family in this difficult and painful time. Revelation 21: 4 "God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning, nor crying, nor pain be anymore.” Psalm 34:18 "Jehovah is near the brokenhearted" Throw your anxieties on Jehovah through prayer, he is close to the brokenhearted.

Mis más profundas oraciones y condolencias a usted y su familia en este momento difícil y doloroso. Apocalipsis 21: 4 "Dios borrará toda lágrima de los ojos de ellos, y la muerte no será más, ni habrá más llanto, ni clamor, ni dolor" Salmos 34:18 "Jehová está cerca de los quebrantados de corazón" arroja tus ansiedades en Jehová a través de la oración, él está cerca de los quebrantados de corazón.

Sr Joao, we didn't know each other for many years but I feel like I've known you forever. You have forever left an effect on me. Since the first day I met you, I knew you were a special man. We will always be Portistas! I feel that I've lost a good friend and will miss our moments of soccer talk. The night before you left us, I said to you, "I'll see you later" and "Viva o PORTO". Again my friend, I wish you peace and love. VIVA O PORTO! Somos sempre .campeoes! Forever Portistas!

Padrinho, my heart hurts as I write these words... it's hard to believe you are gone. From the day you held me in your arms and baptized me before God you have always been a constant presence in my life. I can still hear your voice...you speaking about your beloved Porto with Jorge for what seemed like hours, your stories about Guine, you listening to your little radio and you always bugging the kids... You have left a Huge hole in our hearts and even though you are now looking down on us from heaven, probably arguing with tio Luis and John....we wish you were here. I love you so much and We will always carry you in our hearts. Descanse em Paz meu Padrinho ❤️❤️❤️

Rip vavô❤️words cannot describe how much you're going to be missed you're the best grandfather anyone could ask for and my best friend. I'm going to miss you telling me stories about the war, listening to Spanish music with you, and talking about soccer. Thank you for always making me smile and being so loving. Things will never be the same without you but your memory will forever live on. I'm happy you are no longer in pain and you are now with the angels. Love you forever and always.

I miss you so much Vavô💗 I can’t believe you’re gone but you’re with the angels now. Things will never be the same without you and words can’t describe how much I love you. You always made me smile and laugh and were the best grandfather anyone could ever ask for. I will forever miss your smile and your jokes and your stories. I’m glad you’re now at peace and we will see each other again one day. Everyday I will struggle and every day the endless memories of us together will play in my head. I love you with all my heart. Eu te amarei para sempre❤️❤️❤️💗💗👼👼👼👼👼😭😭💕💕

My dear father in law Joao(Pa), from the first day I met you in front of your house you welcomed me in as if I was part of your family. Many years later you gave me your daughters hand to marriage, which I will cherish till the day till the time we meet again. You were truly a great man, husband, father and a extratrodinay grandfather. My children, your grandchildren are filled with joy and laughter as they reminisce old pictures and videos of our times together. At this time we say bye for now until we meet again in the Kingdom of heaven. Enjoy all the fish and wine you can handle, but don't forget to save for some for me. You are " In Gods Hands" now, I will see you when he calls upon me. Love you Pa, may you Rest In Peace. Ken(Genro).
