Aires is survived by his sons Nelson Amaral (Cheryl Bailey) and Zabby Amaral, grandchildren Locke Amaral and Ronin Amaral, sisters Rogeria Galvao, Feciana DaCosta, and Saulina Pereira, and his brother Manny Amaral. He was predeceased by his parents Mariana and Manuel Amaral, his beloved wife Ilda Amaral, and his brother Herculano Amaral.
