Rafael Colombo, 32, of Taunton, passed away at his home on Thursday, October 06, 2022.

He is survived by his wife of 5 years and high school sweetheart of 15 years, Kristen Ann Colombo (Morris) of Taunton. Rafael leaves a legacy of love, memories, and laughter with his two sons Oliver age 3, and Connor age 1, his parents Edio and Nilze Colombo of Attleboro, his two sisters, Daiana Williams and her husband Scott, Karina Vazquez and her husband Daniel as well as his many nieces and nephews.

His memory will live on with his many other close relations in the US and Brazil. He will be lovingly remembered by his friends and coworkers as a longtime member of the Local 151 Laborers Union and employee of Xquisite Landscaping.

Rafael fiercely loved his family and friends and was known to all as someone who could be depended on for a hug and a laugh. His wife will remember his ability to make her smile in any situation, their rare and magnetic love story, and how truly, madly, and deeply he loved her. His children will remember his endless energy to wrestle and play even after a long day at work. His family will remember him growing from a silly smiling boy to a man who was loved by everyone he met for his humor and genuine compassion.
