A 51-year-old Brockton man who died from a moped crash in Everett last week “was known for his kindness,” his obituary reads.
Joao DePina Fernandes was killed after his moped crashed into two cars in Everett on Friday, Aug. 25, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan’s office said on Monday. This happened at the intersection of Broadway and Beacham streets in Everett after 9 p.m., officials said.
The driver of one of the other vehicles was still in the area. In their statement, Ryan’s office did not specify what happened to the other car involved.
Born in Cape Verde, Fernandes “was a painter by trade and loved riding his motorcycle,” his obituary reads. He leaves behind his mother, daughter, grandson, four brothers and three sisters.
Fernandes’ funeral will be held in the Home of Funerarias Multi Culturel in Brockton at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Calling hours start at 8:30 a.m., the obituary states.
Meanwhile, an investigation into the crash is ongoing. No charges have been filed at this time, Ryan’s office said.
