Obituary of JOSE CARLOS RIBEIRO

March 17, 1942 – November 2, 2022

It is with great sadness that our family announces the passing of Jose Carlos Ribeiro on Wednesday, November 2, 2022, at Riverview Health Centre at the age of 80 after a brief battle with Cancer.

Jose will be lovingly remembered by his wife Ivone of 55 years of marriage, daughter Paula Tavares (Luis) and son Pedro Ribeiro (Elizabeth). As well as his very loved grandchildren Teren (Gabriella), Kyle, Taylor and Keira, along with many beloved nieces, nephews, extended family and friends.

Jose was born in S.Miguel, Acores, Portugal and immigrated to Canada in 1974 to make it his home with his wife and two children. He was a devoted husband and father who had a deep Catholic faith. He had a strong work ethic, working many years as a concrete finisher, baker, and a lab sterilization tech. Jose will always be remembered for the love he had for his family, his smile and sense of humor, and how he could make anyone feel like family within minutes.

We love you and will miss you dearly. Until we all meet again.

Descanse em paz.

The family thanks all family and friends that came to see Jose during his fight with cancer and especially thank the staff at the Riverview Health Centre for making his last days as comfortable as possible.

Prayer Vigil will be held on Sunday, November 6 at 6:00 p.m. at Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, 181 Austin Street N.  Funeral Liturgy will be celebrated on Monday, November 7 at 10:00 a.m. also at the church with entombment to follow in Assumption Roman Catholic Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Care Manitoba (https://www.cancercare.mb.ca) or to Riverview Health Centre ( https://rhc.mb.ca )
