Mauricio Marinho Soares

Dear friends and community,

It is with deep sadness that I share the news of the passing of my dear friend, Mauricio Soares, who unexpectedly left us here in Ireland due to a sudden heart attack.

Mauricio was not only a brilliant engineer and colleague but also a kind, generous, and joyful person who touched the lives of many. Since moving from Brazil to Ireland, he built strong friendships and became like family to me and to those who had the privilege to know him.

Now, in this difficult moment, we are facing the painful task of fulfilling what we know would have been Mauricio’s wish: to return to his hometown of Teresina, Piauí, Brazil, so that his parents and family can say their final farewell and lay him to rest with dignity.

Unfortunately, the process of repatriating a body is extremely expensive, involving funeral arrangements in Ireland, embassy requirements, and the transport to Brazil. These costs are far beyond what his family and close friends can manage alone.

For this reason, we are kindly asking for your support. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference in helping us bring Mauricio back home

Your generosity will not only help us cover the repatriation costs but also give Mauricio’s parents the chance to say goodbye to their beloved son and honour his memory in the place he called home.

On behalf of his family and friends, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness, prayers, and support during this difficult time.

I am fundraising on behalf of my dear friend, Mauricio Soares, who sadly passed away.

As his family is not based in Ireland, I(Jackson Alves Mouta Junior) will be the one receiving the funds directly into my bank account. All donations will be used exclusively to cover the repatriation costs of Mauricio’s body to his family, as well as the necessary funeral arrangements.

I will personally pay these expenses from my account to the relevant funeral home, airlines, and service providers, ensuring that every contribution goes toward giving Mauricio the dignity and farewell he deserves.

With gratitude,

Jackson Mouta
