Valdecir de Oliveira, age 58, tragically passed away on December 3rd, 2024, due to a car accident while going out with his family. Valdecir was born on March 12th, 1966, in Vinhedo – Brazil. He was known as Decio, a nickname he created for himself and that most of his friends knew him by.

Valdecir went to college and graduated in electrical engineering, later becoming one of the best in town.

He met his sweetheart Debora while still very young and they fell in love deeply. They got married on September 5th, 1986, and ended up having two children, Camila and Luana, and two grandchildren, Jordan and Zoey, which he dedicated every minute of his life and all his love to them. Valdecir proved himself to be a wonderful and dedicated father, husband, and grandfather. He always put in the extra effort for his whole family, caring for their needs, always dedicated and hardworking, who always put the needs of others ahead of his own and he never stopped loving them with all of his heart.

In his free time, Valdecir loved spending quality time with his family, watching movies together, listening to country music, traveling to new places, and barbecuing in the mountains. He was also a big fan of the soccer team Corinthians and enjoyed watching their matches on TV.

Valdecir’s personality brought warmth and joy to everyone he encountered, and his passing will be mourned deeply by everyone who knew and loved him. Although he has left his beautiful family behind for a moment, he will always be in their hearts and minds until they meet again. A father like him is rare, one that’s so generous, smart, lovely and kind. A father like him is what everyone needs, full of smiles and laughter, always doing his best to make us happy. Nothing can replace a father like him, but when he gets to Heaven, Heavenly Father will be lucky to have him too. We love you Decio and we will be missing and loving you until we meet again!

The service will be held Saturday, December 14, 2024, at the church located at 250 S 580 E, Santaquin, UT 84655. We will have a viewing from 9 AM to 11 AM, followed by the service from 11 AM to 12 PM. Afterward, he will be laid to rest at East Lawn Cemetery, 4800 Timpview Dr, Provo, UT 84604.

Thank you to everyone who can join us to say our final goodbyes and for your support during this difficult time. With gratitude, Camila Oliveira Smith.
