Phil Pereira was born and raised in New Bedford Massachusetts, he was a father of Nolan Pereira who served in the air force, Emma Pereira who is about to be graduating the 8th grade, also had a stepson Ayden, Phil was in his life since he was a toddler. Phil was an amazing man he lit up the room whenever he walked in it. Unfortunately he faced a horrible accident in Virginia Beach where he was living for the past two-three years, he was on his motorcycle on Friday may 28th around 10:39pm he was involved in a hit and run, sadly he passed away on the scene from the impact of the crash. They are still trying to find the horrible person who did this. We want to bring our dad home to New Bedford Massachusetts to have his service because that is what he would want. So all we ask is if you can just help us out a little bit we would all appreciate it a lot thank you.
