Jason J. Boavida

/in /by

Jason J. Boavida, 44, of Goldsmith Avenue, East Providence, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, February 5, 2021 among friends that he lived with.
Born in Providence, he was the son of John M. and Maria dos Anjos (Belota) Boavida.

Jason graduated from East Providence High school in 1994 and after graduation, he worked for Airpro and Igus locally before moving to Florida. While in Florida Jason worked for Walt Disney World as a painter’s assistant prior to continuing his career journey to New Orleans where he worked as a deckhand for the Delta Queen Riverboat Cruise company traveling along the Mississippi River. Once the cruise line shut down Jason returned to Rhode Island and worked as a Chef for a local diner where he was able to take his passion for cooking and turn it into a career.

Throughout his life Jason touched the hearts of many and was described as an extremely funny, fun loving individual that did not need materialistic things to make him happy. Jason was extremely intelligent and when he put his mind to something nothing stood in his way of learning something new, and accomplishing his goals. During Jason’s downtime he enjoyed cooking, fishing/shell fishing, listening to music, watching all types of sports from NASCAR to Soccer and everything in between, and Pinball where he would spent countless hours researching the different machine types and best way to enjoy the challenges of pinball both in person and virtually.

Jason had a huge heart and always looked to do whatever he could to share good times with everyone he met. Throughout the years Jason has been a part of many adventures and the stories he shared with the people he loved will be cherished forever.
 
Besides his parents, he leaves one brother Anthony Boavida and his wife Tannia of Seekonk, a sister, Elizabeth Martinez of Kissimmee, FL, four nephews, Michael, Matthew and Marcus Martinez, Drew Boavida, one niece, Arriyah Boavida, Several Aunts and Uncles.
His funeral and visitation will be held on Friday, February 12, 2021, from 9-10 AM in Sacred Heart Church, 118 Taunton Ave. East Providence, with a Mass of Christian Burial to follow at 10:00 AM. Burial will be in Gate of Heaven Cemetery.

What a blessing one had if Jay was a part of their life. Such a kind and special person to many. May the countless memories made over the years comfort all in this time of sadness and may God’s promises give us hope. (Isaiah 25:8; Psalm 37:29) Condolences to his family.

What can I say that hasn't already been said? Jay, we saw each other maybe 3-4 times a year but it didn't matter because we always picked up where we left off. I am going to miss our conversations but most of all I'm going to miss you making me laugh. You had an unique way of looking at things. You were one of the good ones and I am going to miss you my friend. Until we meet again....

Jay was a bright spot from my childhood and it still effects me to this day. He taught me how to have a great time no matter what you had. I looked up to him and his energetic thirst for life. There was never a dull day when Jay came over. My energy would go from 0-100 when he showed up because I knew that the good times were about to begin. We shared countless fun days together that shaped my personality. Jay didn't believe that there was a good reason to be bored and I will carry that with me forever. My heart goes out to his Family who treated me like one of their own. Be at peace ✌️ Jay, I love you.
