Antonio Alberto Carrilho

Antonio Carrilho decided to be born on September 10, 1950 as a wedding anniversary present to his parents, Maria Stela and Antonio, who are both now deceased. He grew up in Covilha, Portugal and shortly after he became of age, joined the Portuguese Air Force. As he enjoyed doing low fly bys, he was asked to join another section of the military. This brought him to join the infantry where he trained to be an officer. He was later deployed to Jimbe, Angola as the senior officer of the base. He was in charge of a platoon of exceptional soldiers whom he respected and trusted completely and who he became close friends with. He also cared for the nearby villagers, ensuring they were well supplied. Shortly after completing his tour of duty, he moved to Canada to marry his sweetheart.

Tony made a life in Scarborough, Ontario Canada with his wife Ana and had three amazing children, Melanie, Sean and Michael. Tony made friends easily as he was always willing to help others at work and in his personal life. His eldest daughter Melanie, unfortunately passed away in 2021, which left a hole in his heart.

Tony developed medical problems which resulted in injuries which forced him into being admitted to the hospital. After a few months he was admitted into a permanent hospital receiving treatment. He developed complications and on November 25, 2024, he succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving behind his wife Ana and his two sons, Sean, his girlfriend Suzie and Michael who miss him greatly. He also leaves behind two sisters, Fatima and Palmira and his three brothers Miguel, Carlos, and Joao Nuno and their spouses, along with many, many nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts and cousins. He touched many hearts and his family and friends will miss him. Rest in Peace!!!
