Anafesto Manoel Soares Pandini

Anafesto Pandini, a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and faithful servant of God, was born on January 4, 1972, in Governador Valadares, Brazil. He went home to be with the Lord on January 3, 2026, just one day shy of his 54th birthday.

Anafesto was united in marriage to the love of his life, Angela Mendes-Pandini, on November 4, 2006. Together they built a life rooted in faith, love, and devotion to family.

He is survived by his cherished wife, Angela; his four children, Amanda, Lucas (Alejandra), Jessica, and Priscilla; and his grandchildren, Caleb and a soon-to-be-born baby granddaughter. Family was central to Anafesto’s life, and he took great pride and joy in being a devoted father, grandfather, and husband.

Anafesto was an active and dedicated member of Lagoinha Church PSL, where he faithfully served on the sound team. His heart for service extended far beyond the church walls—he was always ready to help family, friends, and even strangers, never hesitating to give of his time, talents, or resources.

He had a wide range of interests that reflected both his curiosity and warmth: aviation, soccer, space, fishing, coffee, grilling as a proud “grill master,” and above all, his love for Jesus. His faith was the foundation of his life, evident in his kindness, generosity, and unwavering integrity.

Known as the kindest man with the biggest heart, Anafesto lived as a faithful man of God whose life touched countless others. His legacy of love, service, and faith will continue to live on through all who were blessed to know him.

He will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
