Aventura, Florida
We are saddened to announce the passing of our brother who died peacefully and unexpectedly on December 23, 2022. He was born in Azores, Portugal and later immigrated with his family to Cape Cod in the 1970's. He found great joy near the ocean and loved spending countless hours at the beach with family and friends. His love for the warmer climate and new job opportunities in the late 80's took him to Florida where he resided for the past 33+ years and pursued a career in the hospitality industry. John was the son of the late Jose Lima (2011) and Judite Lima (2015) and is survived by his siblings: Gary Lima, Cidalia Pacheco, Cidaliza Lima, Margarida Couto, Natalia Lima, Kim Lima, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews and many cousins. Also, survived by beloved close aunt Maria Kelly and longtime friends: Jaime Cruz, Joan Mersten, Rhonda and Stanley Freelander, Pat Mendes and Bonnie Pina-Santiago.
Services will be held at a later date and will be determined soon.

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Hail Mary, full of grace.
Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd;
I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down
in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul;
He leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the
valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil; for Thou art with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me;
Thou preparest a table before me in
the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anointest my head with oil,
my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell in the house of the
Lord forever.
