In Loving Memory of My Beloved Husband, Silvio Rodrigues

October 10, 1980 - October 24, 2026

Our hearts are broken as I share the sudden passing of my beloved husband, Silvio Rodrigues, at just 46 years old. Born on October 10, 1980, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Silvio moved to Florida with his parents at the young age of six. He lived in Greenacres for most of his teen years, and went to school and worked in Palm Beach County all his life.

I met Silvio through a mutual friend and was immediately drawn to his love of laughter and how he made me feel. I wanted to be enveloped by the light that surrounded him—his joy and his free spirit. Three months later, we began dating, and just seven weeks after that, we were married. We shared 23½ amazing years together. It wasn’t always easy, but every obstacle we overcame brought us closer. He used to tell me, “It’s you and me until the wheels fall off, Baby.” Those words will stay with me forever.

We welcomed our firstborn, Logan, in 2005 and our Baby, Seth, in 2009. Silvio was the proudest Father, and nothing meant more to him than being a Dad to our sons, now 21 and 17. He said becoming a Dad was the scariest but most exciting thing he ever did, and being a father to our Boys was the biggest accomplishment of his life. He gave the boys and me all of himself, all the time.

He was a loving son to his mother, Marli DeOliveira, and a devoted, doting big brother to Sergio Chois. He loved his Mom and brother completely and wholeheartedly, and they held such a special place in his heart.

Silvio was the most loving, incredibly funny, and adventurous person I have ever known. His love for life and people was infectious. He made people laugh, made them feel welcome, and poured love and kindness into everyone he met—friends, customers, and strangers alike.

Silvio was the General Manager of All County Tire, where his love of people met his passion for cars. He loved working with and on cars, and always had a project car keeping him busy.

He also loved to travel and show the boys and me new places, giving us memories we will treasure forever. He loved soccer and proudly cheered for Brazil. More recently, he had discovered a love for smoking meats. We gave him a smoker for Father’s Day, and he had begun experimenting with it. He still wanted to smoke a brisket. It breaks my heart that he never got the chance—one of so many things he should have had more time to do.

To have loved Silvio and been loved by him is the greatest honor of my life. The life we built and the memories we made are treasures I will hold forever. I only wish, with everything in me, that we had more time.

His friends and colleagues mourn alongside us, feeling the emptiness with each day that passes. There are no jokes from him to make them laugh, no words of encouragement to lift them up, and none of the joy he brought into their everyday lives. His absence is felt in all the moments he once made brighter.

There are no words for the pain of losing him or the emptiness he leaves behind. He was a gift to this world, and our world feels so much darker and colder without him.

My Love, thank you for loving us so completely. Thank you for our boys, our laughter, our adventures, and our life together. Thank you for showing our Boys how to love—with their whole hearts, through kindness, laughter, and being there for the people they love. They will carry your example with them always. I will miss you in every ordinary moment and every milestone we should have shared.

From our Boys: Daddy, thank you for being our Father, our Friend, and our Confidant. Thank you for listening, for making us laugh, and for making us feel so loved. We wish we had so much more time with you. We love you, Daddy, and we will carry you with us for the rest of our lives.

“And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.”— Kahlil Gibran

I Love you, Silvio. Always.

Your wife, Olivia
