\t\t\tOBITUARY\t\t<\/p>\n
Luis Pereira, 59, passed away on Thursday, April 9, 2026, in Bonita Springs, Florida, after a long courageous battle with cancer.<\/p>\n
Born on September 10, 1966, in Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal, he was the son of the late Joaquim Machado Pereira and Laura de Azevedo. Luis carried his Portuguese roots with great pride throughout his life, later becoming a proud American citizen.<\/p>\n
Luis is survived by his brother, Custodio Pereira (Concei\u00e7\u00e3o), his sister, Maria dos Anjos Pereira (Oscar) as well as several nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind his beloved dog and loyal companion, Tago, and the Stokesay Castle team, who became his American family. He was predeceased by his twin brother at birth.<\/p>\n
Luis recently retired as General Manager and President of Stokesay Castle, where he devoted years of leadership and passion to building an exceptional guest experience. Known for his unwavering dedication to hospitality, Luis treated every guest who walked through the castle doors like royalty. His warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail left a lasting impression on all who had the pleasure of knowing him.<\/p>\n
A gifted communicator, Luis was fluent in seven languages, a reflection of both his intellect and his deep appreciation for different cultures.<\/p>\n
Interment will take place in Portugal. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.<\/p>\n
Luis will be remembered for his generosity, his love of people, and the legacy he leaves behind in both his personal and professional communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Luis Pereira OBITUARY Luis Pereira, 59, passed away on Thursday, April 9, 2026, in Bonita Springs, Florida, after…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":170185,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[128,130,129],"class_list":["post-170184","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170184"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170184\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170185"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170184"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
