Mario J. Chaves, 53

MARLBOROUGH – Mario J. Chaves, 53, of Marlborough, passed away peacefully surrounded by his beloved family on November 17, 2021, at his home. 

Mario was born in Santa Maria Azores, Portugal, the son of Americo and the late Irodina (Figueiredo) Chaves.

Mario immigrated with his family to Hudson in 1974 at the age of five and graduated from Assabet Valley Regional Technical School in 1987.

Mario continued the trade of carpentry after graduation and held his Construction Supervisors License for over 20 years.

For 18 years Mario proudly served on the Imperio Mariense of Hudson committee, where he was passionately committed to ensuring that the Portuguese culture and traditions continued within the community (No soup for you!).

Mario was a member of both Marlborough and Hudson Fraternal Order of the Eagles, as well as the Marlborough Eagle Riders. 

Mario enjoyed riding his motorcycle, camping, and spending time at home with his family and two dogs Harley and Daphne. He was a caring and generous person, helping others with home projects and loved family get-togethers. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
