Join us in remembering our beloved Laimis, 1984–2021.

LAIMIS JURGIS ARCILIO de SÁ PEREIRA was born 30 May 1984 at St. Luke’s Hospital in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He passed away at the same Hospital on 13 May 2021, age 36. He was the beloved son of Daiva Ona Navickas (née Matulionytė), MT/ASCP, of New Bedford (originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) and Moacir de Sá Pereira, MD, of Talaíde, Cascais, Portugal (originally from Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil). He was the grandson of Julija Matulionienė (née Krasnickaitė) and Pranas Matulionis; and Yolanda Maria Pompeu de Barros e Sá Pereira and Moacyr de Sá Pereira, all deceased.

He was brother to Moacir Pranas de Sá Pereira, PhD, of New York, NY; Varpas Salvador de Sá Pereira, Major USMC (Ret.), of San Clemente, CA; Skaidrys Elpidio de Sá Pereira, BS, of Norman, OK; Yolanda dos Anjos Andrade de Sá Pereira, MD; and Gloria Elizabeth Conceição Andrade de Sá Pereira, MEng, both of Lisbon, Portugal; and the late Yara da Conceição Andrade de Sá Pereira. He was nephew to Margis and Dobilas Matulionis and Maria Elizabeth Pompeu de Barros e Sá Pereira da Silva. He is also survived by a nephew, five nieces, and all the “aunts”, “uncles” and “cousins” of the extended Moreira Andrade family of Massachusetts, Canada, and Portugal.

He was a lifetime resident of the New Bedford area, having graduated from Friends Academy and New Bedford High School. He also graduated from Bostono Lituanistinė Mokykla. He worked at Sid Wainer & Son until struck with a terminal illness.

Laimis loved playing games. He was a regular visitor to The Armoury in Fairhaven, MA, and played tabletop and computer games with his friends and family as long as he was able. He also ardently supported all local sports teams, especially the Boston Bruins.
