On Monday, October 13th, our hearts were shattered by the sudden loss of Arthur “Artie” Pires, who tragically passed away in a devastating and untimely car accident. Artie had a heart of gold, and his smile could light up any room he walked into.

He was a dedicated and hardworking man who took great pride in everything he did. While working for 3M Site Development and Paving, Artie filled many roles that few could handle, and his commitment and reliability never went unnoticed. His work ethic inspired everyone around him, but above all, Artie’s greatest love was his family.

He is survived by his loving wife, Rita Pires, and their children, who were the center of his world. Artie’s passing has left a deep void in the hearts of everyone who knew him.

We are creating this GoFundMe to help the Pires family cover funeral and memorial expenses, and to give Artie the beautiful farewell he deserves. Any donation, no matter how small, will make a difference and is deeply appreciated by his family and friends, for help covering the funeral expenses.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your love, prayers, and support during this incredibly difficult time.
