San Francisco, California – Noelio Cordeiro, a dedicated family man and cherished friend, passed away unexpectedly last Tuesday at the age of 61 following a heart attack caused by clogged coronary arteries.
His sudden passing has left a deep void in the lives of those he touched, both in San Francisco and in his hometown of São Paulo, Brazil.
Noelio moved to San Francisco three decades ago, seeking a better life and opportunity for his family.
While living with his godson, Kian Ehyaie, and Ehyaie’s mother for the past ten years, Noelio became a constant and loving presence, helping to raise Kian and imparting invaluable life lessons.
A pillar of strength and unwavering support, Noelio was remembered fondly by Kian, who described him as “a father in every way that mattered.”
The day after his passing, more than twenty friends and loved ones gathered to honor his memory at Kian’s mother’s home, a testament to Noelio’s impact on those around him.
A fundraiser has been launched to cover funeral expenses and assist in bringing his family from Brazil to San Francisco for the arrangements.
Lobsang Tse, a close friend, shared his condolences on Facebook, urging others to support the family in their time of need.
Noelio is survived by his family in Brazil, whom he never forgot despite the years apart.
His loss is deeply felt, and his memory cherished by all who knew him.
