Richard A Carreira

Mr. Carreira was born May 24, 1954 in Warwick, Rhode Island to Joseph and Irene Carreira. Richard graduated from West Warwick High School in 1973. He and his wife, Linda, were joined in marriage in 1977. In 1989, they moved to Panama City, Florida where they resided for 26 years and then moved to Houston, Texas in 2015.

Rick was preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his loving wife of 44 years, Linda Carreira of Houston, TX; daughters, Rebecca “Becky” Sekamanya and Tamara Carreira of Katy, TX; grandsons Dominic Carreira and Jeremiah Sekamanya of Katy, TX; brother, Joseph Carreira (Connie) of Coventry, RI; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Rick loved fishing, being out on the water and was a drummer since he was a very small child. He had a great sense of humor and brought smiles to anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

The Carreira family would like to give a special thanks to Dr. Kathy Sam and her staff at Oncology Consultants.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in memory of Rick to Ezekiel 37 Ministry, the non-profit organization his daughter, Becky co-founded that serves to educate hundreds of children in one of the most remote areas of Uganda, Africa.
