Carlos Amado Obituary

Published by Legacy on Nov. 19, 2025.
With heavy hearts and deep love, we celebrate the life of Carlos Amado (Carlitos/Xema), born on November 2nd, 1954, on the island of Fogo, Cape Verde. Carlos was a man whose warmth, humor, and loyal spirit made him a joy to all who knew him.

Xema was the beloved son of Catarina Mafalda Amado and Eduino Monteiro. He shared strong family bonds with his siblings Victor Amado (Manecas), Jose Amado (Loly), João Amado (Miky), and 16 loving brothers and sisters on his father's side. To his family, he was a friendly brother, a funny uncle, and a comforting presence who brought laughter wherever he went.

He was the proud father of Carla Amado and Carmen Amado, and a devoted grandfather to three beautiful grandchildren who lit up his world. As a father, he tried his best-his love was genuine, his intentions sincere, and his heart always pointed toward his family.

His memory will live on in the love he shared, the stories he leaves behind, and the laughter he brought into the world. As man of kindness, humor, and quiet strength, he carried a heart of gold, and a joyful spirit. We will miss him deeply, but we remain grateful for every moment we were blessed to share with him.

Com profundo pesar e muito amor, celebramos a vida de Carlos Amado (Carlitos/Xema), nascido em 2 de novembro de 1954, na ilha do Fogo, Cabo Verde. Carlos foi um homem cuja presença enchia a vida ao seu redor de carinho, humor e uma companhia sempre fiel.

Xema era filho de Catarina Mafalda Amado e Eduino Monteiro. Ele compartilhava fortes laços familiares com seus irmãos Victor Amado (Manecas), Jose Amado (Loly), João Amado (Miky) e 16 irmãos paternos. Para sua família, ele foi um irmão amigo, um tio alegre e divertido, e uma presença acolhedora que levava risos por onde passava.

Foi pai de Carla Amado e Carmen Amado, e um avô orgulhoso de três lindos netos, que iluminavam o seu mundo. Como pai, deu o seu melhor - seu amor era genuíno, suas intenções sinceras e seu coração sempre voltado para a família.

Sua memória viverá no amor que compartilhou, nas histórias que deixou e nas risadas que trouxe a cada um. Como um homem de muito humor carregava um coração de ouro e um espírito cheio de alegria. Sentiremos profundamente sua falta, mas permanecemos gratos por cada momento que tivemos o privilégio de viver ao seu lado.
