John Medeiros Obituary
John A. Medeiros, 59, of Swansea, passed away Tuesday, February 25, 2025, at Charlton Memorial Hospital, surrounded by his family.
He was the loving husband of Diane (Carvalho) Medeiros.
Born in Capelas, St. Michael, Azores, he was a son of the late Jose Medeiros, Jr. and Maria H. (Furnas) Medeiros.

Medeiros (wife Sharon), Dimas Medeiros (wife Mandi), Lorena Botelho (husband John), Helen I.
