February 15, 1973 – May 27, 2022
Richardo Jose Duarte Valecillos, 49, Carmel, passed away on May 27, 2022. He was born on February 15, 1973, in Caracas, Venezuela.
As a chef, Richardo enjoyed cooking and preparing meals. He was a gentle and peaceful man who liked to bike, listen to music, such as Iron Maiden, Biella DaCosta, Metallica, The Beatles, Guns N’ Roses, and watch documentaries with his niece. Even as a young boy, Richardo was fascinated with airplanes, which allowed him the opportunity of training and working as a flight attendant.
Richardo had a passion for animals, such as hamsters, birds, and fish. The last six years of living with Johanna’s family brought Richardo much joy. He gave much effort in helping his family still living in Venezuela. Richardo was a loving and caring son, brother, and friend.
Richardo was preceded in death by his father, Rui Duarte, and an aunt.
Survivors include his mother, Isabel De Duarte Valecillos; brother, Ruy Duarte; his nephews Ruy Alejandro and Andres Duarte; his sister-in-law, Johanna Marquez, and husband, Alberto Ibarra, niece Ainhoa, nephew, Noah; and several cousins.
Visitation will take place at 2 p.m. on Thursday, June 2, 2022, at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Catholic Church, 14598 Oak Ridge Road, Carmel, with the Memorial Mass beginning at 3 p.m.
