The community of Cambridge is deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of Francisco Raposo in the first week of February 2026, at the age of 42. Francisco’s life was defined by love, creativity, and devotion to his family.
His unexpected departure has left a profound void in the hearts of his wife, Paula, their cherished daughter, Núria, and the many friends and neighbors who were touched by his warmth and kindness.
Francisco was known for his gentle spirit and his ability to bring joy to those around him. His home in Cambridge was a place of welcome, where laughter and cherished memories were shared.
