Maximo Paiva Purisaca

Con el corazón apesadumbrado, anunciamos el pacífico fallecimiento de Máximo Francisco Paiva Purisaca, quien partió de este mundo en su hogar en Chelsea, rodeado de su familia, el sábado 26 de septiembre de 2026, a los 81 años. Nacido el 4 de octubre de 1944 en Lima, Perú, fue el amado hijo de los fallecidos Máximo Paiva Rumiche y Josefa Purisaca Álvarez.

Máximo fue un hombre entregado a su familia. Valoró profundamente los 60 años que compartió con su amada esposa, Consuelo Castillo Paiva, con quien se casó el 29 de junio de 1966. Juntos formaron un hogar lleno de amor para sus cinco hijos, José, Juan, Luis, Ricardo y Rafael, y su querida hija, Catherine, creando recuerdos que durarán toda la vida. Su dedicación como padre y abuelo fue inquebrantable. Disfrutó enormemente de sus nietos, Joseph, Michael, Susan, Anthony, Alison, Yerel, Aiden y Chanel, y de su bisnieta Aurora.

La carrera de Máximo comenzó como electricista en barcos y transatlánticos, lo que lo llevó a Estados Unidos en 1982. Aquí puso su admirable ética de trabajo y sus habilidades al servicio de su familia como obrero y trabajador de mantenimiento de edificios. Con talento para los proyectos del hogar, la pintura de interiores y la decoración, se enorgullecía de crear espacios cálidos y acogedores para quienes amaba.

Apasionado aficionado al fútbol, Máximo seguía a sus equipos europeos favoritos, con especial cariño por el Real Madrid de España. Su amor por la salsa llenó su vida de ritmo y alegría y reflejó su espíritu vibrante y su entusiasmo por vivir.

Su legado perdura a través de sus queridos hermanos, Julia, Hermelinda, Vilma, María, Jaime y Olga Paiva, así como Fermín, Luis y María Guevara, quienes llevarán su memoria en sus corazones.

Familiares y amigos están calurosamente invitados a honrar la vida y el legado de Maximo durante el horario de visita en Welsh Funeral Home, 718 Broadway, Chelsea, el lunes 5 de octubre, de 5:00 p.m. a 7:00 p.m. Su funeral se celebrará en la funeraria el martes 6 de octubre a las 10:00 a.m., seguido del sepultura en Puritan Lawn Memorial Park, 185 Lake St., Peabody.
