Vander Vieira Silva, 62, died peacefully on January 14, 2022 at St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua. He was the beloved father of Tatiana Silva of Merrimack, Mariana Silva of Nashua and Rodrigo Silva of Brazil. Vander was born in Conselheiro Lafaiete, Brazil on July 29, 1959, and was the son of the late Valtair Silva and Nely Vieira Silva. Vander has been living in Nashua since 2014 and spent the majority of his time with his four grandkids: Sophia Defendi, Lucas Silva, Stella Defendi, and Layla Silva who he loved with all his heart.

Vander loved watching his soccer team Galo, F1 race, and riding his motorcycle. Above all else, he cherished time spent with family, especially playing with his grandkids.

Vander was always polished, chivalrous and gallant. He was always the life of the party, even during the toughest moments he knew how to brighten someone's day.

He will forever be remembered as the loving man he was.

He will be missed by everyone who knew him, including his daughters, his son, sons-in-law Albert Silva and Julio Santos, his grandchildren, his brother Laercio, his sisters Neyse and Maysa, his in-laws, nieces, nephews, his ex-wife Terezinha Simmons and husband Shawn Simmons, all extended family and all his friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to Vander's visitation on THURSDAY, January 20th from 4 until 6 PM at ROCHETTE FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATION SERVICES, 21 Kinsley Street, Nashua. Interment will take place at the convenience of his family.
