Antonio Nicolau Mendes Maio
December 6, 1951 – January 26, 2025
Antonio was born and raised in Terceira, Acores, where he married Filomena Mendes. In 1977 Filomena and Antonio decided they wanted to start a new life in California so they settled in Turlock. Antonio worked as a milker for various dairies for over 30 years. He loved gardening, camping, BBQing and fishing. One of his favorite things to watch was his favorite Portuguese soccer team; he and his brother enjoyed teasing each other about whose team was best. Spending time with his family and grandchildren was the most important thing to Antonio.
He is survived by his wife of 48 years, Filomena Maio; children Carla (Danny) Avila and Jessica (Christopher) Pisar; siblings Joao Maio, Jose Maio and Jocelina Mendes; and grandchildren Adam Avila, Brooke Avila, Ryan Avila and Amelia Pisar.
Memorial service will be held at Allen Mortuary on Saturday, February 22, 2025 at 1:00p.m.
