In loving memory of Jose Francisco Magalhaes, of Mineola, New York.

The Magalhaes family deeply regrets to announce the passing of Jose Francisco Magalhaes on Thursday, August 14, 2025 in East Meadow, New York.

Jose was born in the city of Maturin Venezuela to his parents Mario Araujo and Maria Alice Magalhaes. He spent his youth playing soccer and caring for his pet birds, monkey, dogs and cats. At age 11, he moved to Vilar des Almas, Portugal, the small town that neighbored his wife’s town, Julia Saraiva Magalhaes. Seeking opportunity, he came to America and began his landscaping company. Jose is lovingly remembered by his wife, Julia and their two children, Melissa (wife Shayne) and Ricardo (wife Nancy), granddaughter Mia, his father, his three sisters Angelina, Esperança, and Alberta.

Even under challenging circumstances, Jose was always good for a laugh. He was a loving husband, father, friend, grandfather and ‘Tio Chico’. He was an avid fan of FC Sporting, a lover of animals, and a generous soul. He will be remembered for his good humor and conviviality, always offering a smile. His memory will be forever in our hearts.

A visitation service will be held from 7pm to 9pm on Monday, August 18 at Cassidy Funeral Home, 156 Willis Avenue, Mineola, NY 11501.

A Funeral Mass will be held at 10:30am on Tuesday, August 19, at Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church, 155 Garfield Avenue, Mineola, NY 11501.

Em memória amorosa de José Francisco Magalhães, de Mineola, Nova York.

A família Magalhães lamenta profundamente anunciar o falecimento de José Francisco Magalhães na quinta-feira, 14 de agosto de 2025, em East Meadow, Nova York.

José nasceu na cidade de Maturin, Venezuela, filho de seus pais Mario Araujo e Maria Alice Magalhães.

Aos 11 anos, mudou para Vilar des Almas, em Portugal, a pequena cidade vizinha à cidade de sua esposa, Julia Saraiva Magalhães.

José é carinhosamente lembrado por sua esposa, Julia e seus dois filhos, Melissa (esposa Shayne) e Ricardo (esposa Nancy), neta Mia, seu pai, suas três irmãs Angelina, Esperança e Alberta, e os sobrinhos.

Mesmo em circunstâncias difíceis, José sempre foi bom para rir. Ele era um marido amoroso, pai, amigo, avô e 'Tio Chico'. Ele era um ávido fanático do FC Sporting, um amante de animais e uma coração generosa. Ele será lembrado por seu bom humor e convívio, sempre oferecendo um sorriso. Sua memória estará para sempre em nossos corações.
