Alfredo Nunes Parreira, age 80, of Turlock, California passed away peacefully at home surrounded by his family on Friday, August 16, 2024. Alfredo was born in Ribeirinha, Terceira, Açores to Emília and Alfredo Luís Parreira.
His children write: "The man who sacrificed so much for his family and made sure they never went without. From coming to the U.S. from Terceira, Açores in 1984 and leaving his family behind to chase the American dream. He did just that, his hard work ethic which he instilled in all of his kids, made it all possible for us to come here in 1989. I am blessed to call you dad, love you till we meet again."
Alfredo was very involved in his community and proud of his Portuguese heritage. He was past president for Newman F.D.E.S. and Patterson F.D.E.S., a member of Crows Landing and Thornton Festas and parishioner of Our Lady of the Assumption Catholic Church in Turlock, California.
Alfredo is survived by his loving wife of forty-eight years, Delminda Parreira, of Turlock, California; his children, Emanuel Dutra Parreira (Susan) of Newman, California, Bruno Melo Parreira of Modesto, California, Claudia Monica Parreira of Turlock, California and Fabio Andrew Parreira (Chelsea) of Turlock, California; his brother Luís Manuel Parreira (Carolina) of Porto Judeu, Terceira, Açores and his sister Maria Emília Parriera of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Alfredo also leaves behind his four grandchildren, Abigail Goncalves (Frank), Nelson Parreira, Caisley Parreira and Kennedy Parreira along with a great granddaughter on the way, arriving in January 2025, to honor his memory.
