Sergio & Gracinha

I love my dad and All of the family’s and friends he made. I love him my mom and my sister with my whole hart he is the best dad that could ever exist I hope he’s doing good and having fun in a place that one day I’ll meet him again and as I love him with the whole of my heart I’m ready to see him again.

Sending our deepest condolences to Joao's family with a special hug from Sonya to Kathlyn.  

Sometimes in life there are losses. Losses that can never really be replaced. Losing you has been the hardest thing we’ve ever had to live with. We weren’t  ready to say goodbye. We weren’t  ready to let you leave. We would give anything for just one more day, just one more second. But we’ve learned to trust in unconditional love. Because the one profound thing about death is that love never dies. Some bonds cannot be broken. Our trio bond will never be broken. Because even though you’re not physically here, your heart is — it lives on within us. We carry your heart inside ours. We will carry it on days when we discover something new. We will carry it on days when beauty unfolds in the most unexpected places. We will carry it on days when we find courage to heal and to grow. We will carry it with us — always. Someday we will meet again — and we will no longer be separated by time or space. But until that day, we’ll find comfort in knowing that you are still with us. Your heart safely tucked inside ours. Some hearts just belong together and nothing will ever change that. We loved you then. We love you now. Always did. Always will. Forever in our minds. Forever in our hearts. We will carry you. CS trio forever.

My condolences to the family. He will truly be missed, he was such a wonderful person. Sending love 💕 

We are so very saddened for your family for the loss of Joao.  He was always smiling and friendly and his endless dedication to his family was very evident. May his memory be eternal.  
With Sympathy

Farewell my brother, very genuine soul!!! 

May you Rest In Peace Joao. Your time on this earth was too short, but filled with family, friends, love and happiness. It was a pleasure and an honor to know you and the work with you. 
My sincere condolences to Katie, the children and all of the Carvalho - Silva family. 

My sincerest condolences to the Carvalho-Silva family. Joao could always light up any room with his quick wit and infectious smile. I feel lucky to have had the pleasure of knowing him all these years, he will be sorely missed.

I keep thinking about the times we hung out together. You always knew how to make everyone have a good time and it was so obvious how greatly you cared for and went out of your way to do anything to help your family and friends. The world lost such an amazing person, but I know you’re still around watching and caring. I love you brother and we’ll see you again.

Meu primo Joãozinho, já esta deixando saudades.. primo para toda hora , aquela pessoa que fazia tudo e mais um pouco para satisfazer as vontades de quem ele amava ..resguardado porém debochado e sorridente rs . Te amo para sempre . Best cousin,  many memories... 

Joao touched so many lives, he was truly a guiding light.  I had the honor of knowing and working with Joao from the time he was a pilot for our training department.  He was the best NATCA Rep our Area had.   He amazed me with his artistic ability of making anything anyone wanted or needed.  He personally help me choose my mother- son dance song for my son’s wedding.  No matter want anyone needed wether it was work related or personal, Joao was there for them.   
For Katie and the family,
Words seem so feeble at times like these.  Life is so precious and death is such a thief.  I can’t even begin to comprehend the depth of your pain, but I’ll stand beside you in your darkness my friend.  Love is a bond that death can not part,  he may be gone from your arms but never from your heart.

Love you
Shelly Turton

What a wonderful man. Joao was so loved by all that knew him,
but we were blessed to know him and have him in our family.

Joao brought joy and great memories for us all to keep in our hearts.
Much love and prayers to all the family at this time.

Nuestro corazón  se une a cada uno de ustedes, no tenemos  palabras de consuelo. Era un gran ser humano, marido,padre, hermano e hijo.las grandes personas siempre se van demasiado pronto. Estarás eternamente en los corazones de todos los que te queremos.

Our condolence, we never think our son will live this world before we do.
God take him in his glory.

Our hearts are saddened, a great man, husband and father has left this earth. Joao has shown us love ,brought us joy and made us laugh. We will turn those memories into treasures . We are so blessed to have known him . May God wrap His arms around Joao's entire family and give you peace. 

My most sincere condolences to Katie, the kids and Joao's parents and family. My prayers are with you in this most difficult time. May God bless you all.

One conversation with Joao stands out to me in particular. A conversation that I think about quite often and probably will continue to think about for the rest of my life. A conversation that boiled down to Joao repeating that you just have to believe. That logic and critical thinking can only bring you so far and that the extra push that you need in life sometimes, has to come from something else. A leap of faith with yourself, that says that no matter how dark things may get, you know it will be okay and that there will be light at the end of the tunnel. You can't explain why and you can't put it to words, just the way Joao was trying to tell me but couldn't describe it past, "You just have to believe". I think people all over the world probably have different words for that thing. Love. Faith. Heart. Call it what you like, Joao had more of it than anybody I have ever met.

Thank you for always including my Jordyn. She always said you were so nice and sooo fun. May you Rest In Peace my friend .

Queridos primos,
Dios, en su infinita sabiduría, creó el tiempo, para transformar nuestro dolor en eterna nostalgia.
Que Dios consuele sus corazones y permita a nuestro amado "ZINHO" el descanso eterno.
Recuerdos siempre. Nunca triste.
Sus primos Sergio y Gracinha

Dear family,
This is so hard to believe!! I still remember the day when I was in the plane for my return flight to Belgium the captain anounced: " Mr Tuypens locatad on seat on 16C, your friend Joao wishes you a Happy Birthday and a pleasant flight" The whole plane was singing for me...... I'll never forget this.
Please, take care of eachother and be strong in this terrible days.
Geert Tuypens. 

One day I muttered under my breath how cool it would be to have a fireplace in my classroom to make my reading nook more inviting. A few days later, in walks Joao with a fireplace he made just for us... next was the ice cream truck, then the tiki bar, and the honeycomb Christmas tree topper, and much more. 

Joao found joy in bringing a smile to others and especially to children. I'm profoundly grateful to have reaped the benefits of his and Katie's friendship over the years. 

You are greatly missed brother. Rest well. 

Joao welcomed me into the family with open arms.  Loving, kind, goofy; he always put his wife and children first...they were his world. I will never forget our jazz night in New Orleans. Banishing our anti oyster eating spouses to the other end of the table, we devoured the shellfish that “tastes like the ocean”.  We listened to the washboard banjos and contemplated life’s journey. My first heart to heart with Joao; the brother in law I would grow to admire and love so dearly.  There will never be a jazz & oyster night as special to me as that one. You are loved, Joao. 

Will never forget Joao, such a positive, bright soul, and I know I’m not the only one. The world lost a bright one and heaven is definitely brighter now. I wish you a safe journey until we meet again, dear friend. ❤️

27 Years. 27 Years of friendship. 27 Years of brotherhood. 27 Years of ups and downs. 27 Years that were the greatest of my life. I love and miss you so much. Couldn't ask for a better next door neighbor. Couldn't ask for a better team mate on the field. Couldn't ask for a better friend. Couldn't ask for a better best man. Rest up brother. I look forward to the great times in heaven with you one day. As Loi would say, Big Hugs. See you soon...
