Adilson Barbosa

Adilson Barbosa was born to Sofia Dasilva on May 17, 1997, in Boston, MA. From the beginning, Adilson had loving care, being raised in a house with his mother, his twin brother Ailson, his great-grandparents (the late Vovo Nininha and Vovo Nene), grandparent Tia Amelia and Grandfather Ney and Tia Idalina in Boston.

Adilson attended Tech Boston and Quincy High School where he studied auto mechanics and culinary arts. Not only would he utilize his handiwork skills in school, but also in the community where he practiced glass-blowing in Jamaica Plain, or one of his biggest loves- fixing the bikes for every kid in the neighborhood, earning the title of local bike mechanic! When he was not fixing bikes (his favorite bike was a PK Ripper), he would ride the entire city, always beside his twin, Ailson; they were inseparable and had an unbreakable bond. Adilson also loved working at his job, Sunrise Scavengers. He was a very hard worker and always found something valuable when he worked recycle days.

Adilson constantly had a smile on his face and was very welcoming. He had a great sense of humor, and loved to make people laugh. He was playful and very silly, yet a very loving, sweet, and creative young man. He was always bursting with life and energy and his smile and kindness will live on forever. We will truly miss him.
