Antonio F. Lourenco, 54, of Fall River, father of two daughters, Caitlin M. Lourenco and Kylie G. Lourenco of Somerset, and life partner of Dorvalina Melo, passed away on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at Charlton Memorial Hospital after a progressive long-term illness. Born in Santo Antonio alem Capelas, St. Michael, Azores, a son of Antonio C. Lourenco and the late Maria Gabriela (Medeiros) Lourenco, he emigrated to Fall River in 1987.

He was employed as a technician at Quaker Fabric for numerous years. An avid soccer fan, Antonio savored watching his favorite team, Benfica, with his family. He also enjoyed driving his Mustang to Bristol with his mother and his dog, Charlie, making frequent stops for a sugary cup of coffee at Dunkin' Donuts. Antonio relished quiet moments out in the open ocean, fishing for hours in peace.

Besides his two daughters, Dorvalina, and his father, he is survived by: two brothers, Peter Lourenco (fiance Rebecca Nolan) and Roy Lourenco (wife Michelle) both of Fall River; three nieces, Brianna Lourenco, Sophia Lourenco, and Sydney Lourenco; Dorvalina's three children, Ruben, Tiago, and Mariana Melo all of São Miguel; and many aunts, uncles, and cousins.

His Funeral Service was held on Thursday, December 11th, during His Calling Hours in our Fall River Chapel. A private cremation followed.
