Eduardo Silva Obituary

Eduardo Rabello Silva, 87, passed away on December 1st, 2016, in Miami, Florida He is survived by his adored 100 year-old mother in-law, Professor Cleonice Berardinelli, his sister Heloisa Marques Ferreira and her family, and his five children, Fernando Silva (Carol), Marina Demers (Kevin), Claudia Nash (Kerry), Ricardo Silva (Amelia) and Patricia Silva (Stefano) and his eleven grandchildren and nine great -grandchildren. He leaves behind a legacy of generosity, guidance and unending love to all those whose lives he touched. He will always be remembered by the example he set to his children in his marriage and his love for his late wife, Leticia. His unbound kindness touched many including longtime friends, associates, his extended family and those who have helped care for his wife and him in their later years. His life was filled with many accomplishments both personal and professional. He retired after a 35-year career as a senior executive in the pharmaceutical industry in his native country of Brasil and in the United States. Personally, he took great pride in the children he raised with Leticia. In recent years he developed a passion for writing poetry and prose which he shared with great joy. We will gather for a mass to celebrate his life at Saint Louis Catholic Church in Pinecrest, Florida at 11:30 am, Monday, December 5th, 2016.

We will always remember Eduardo as a very sweet, kind and gentle man. He is the father to our sister-in-law, Claudia. It was a privilege and honor to meet him and his wife Leticia and to share in extended family get-togethers. We saw how much his family loved him and we know how much he will be missed. We wish them all comfort during this difficult time. With love, Craig and Deirdre Nash
