Cajetan Rosario Almeida was born on July 6, 1945 in Karachi, Pakistan, the son of Pascal and Maria Almeida and entered eternal life on May 22, 2019 to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ at the age of 73.
Cajetan attended St. Patrick’s High school. Following high school he moved to the United Arab Emirates late 60s to work for the Bank of Sharjah, where he worked for 25 years. On January 6, 1973, Cajetan and Florina (Fernandes) were united in holy matrimony in Karachi, Pakistan. This union was blessed with four children, Anita, Brian, Cedric, and Derrick. Cajetan, Florina, Cedric, and Derrick moved to Houston, TX in 1997, where they became members of St. Theresa Catholic Church. Cajetan had a strong faith in the Lord and trusted in Him for his salvation through Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection. He always encouraged his family, especially his children, to place their faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
Despite working very hard in his career, he spent equally as much time on his family. He took on challenges for family, friends and others with no hesitation yet always had a positive disposition in life. He touched so many lives and passed on his habits to his children which is his greatest legacy.
Cajetan was preceded in death by his parents; children, Anita and Brian; sister, Angela; brothers-in-law, Cajetan Fernandes, Tony D’Costa and Peter Rodrigues.
Cajetan is survived by his wife, Florina, sons, Cedric and his wife Claudia, and their daughter, Brianna, and Derrick Almeida and wife Alissa; brother and sisters, Victor Almeida and wife Evelyn, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, Victor Fernandes and wife Fatima, Amador Fernandes and wife Maria, Nazareth Rodrigues; sisters, Rita Aisha Ahsan and Christine Lakhani, several beloved nieces, nephews and God-children; as well as many cherished friends.
