In Loving Memory of Antonio Rocha (1965–2026)

Antonio Rocha, a devoted father, skilled carpenter, and proud Portuguese immigrant, passed away at the age of 60. Born in Portugal, Antonio came to the United States in the early 1970s as a young child, carrying with him the roots of his homeland and the determination to build a meaningful life in his new country, his own way. 

Antonio lived life on his own terms—honestly, independently, and with quiet strength. As a carpenter, he took pride in his craft, building not only structures with his hands but also a legacy of hard work, resilience, and integrity. His work reflected his character: dependable, precise, and built to last.

Above all, Antonio was a devoted father who raised two remarkable men. He poured his values into his sons, teaching them the importance of perseverance, respect, and living with purpose. His love, guidance, and example will continue to shape their lives and honor his memory.

Antonio will be remembered for his strong spirit, his dedication to his family, and the life he courageously built far from where he began. Though he has left this world, the impact of his work, his love, and his journey will never be forgotten.

He is survived by his sons, extended family, and all who were fortunate enough to know and love him.
