DIGHTON - With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Aurelio "Magic Mike" Estrela, age 67, who passed on March 26, 2026, in the peace of his home with his loving family by his side. He was the beloved husband of 33 years to Tammy (Mays) Estrela. Born in Ribeirinha, Ribeira Grande, São Miguel, Açores, he was the son of the late Remoaldo Borges da Estrela and Maria Antonieta Soares (Barbosa) Estrela.

For 33 years, he was a devoted husband, cherishing every moment spent with his family, his children, grandchildren and his friends. He was a man who brought joy wherever he went, known affectionately to many as "Magic Mike" for the wonder and laughter he shared through his magic shows, pony rides, and petting zoos filled with beloved animals. With a warm smile and a sense of humor that could light up any room, he had a gift for making others feel at ease. Dependable and selfless, he was always just a phone call away, ready to help anyone in their time of need. He took great pride in his work as a union construction worker, known by many as one of the best asphalt raker around, and carried a strong work ethic throughout his life. He also found joy in yard work and farm projects, embracing the satisfaction of hard work. Arriving in America in 1977 and becoming an American citizen in September 2016 was a proud milestone in his life. Above all, he was deeply devoted to caring for his family, leaving behind a legacy of kindness, dedication, and love that will be remembered by all who knew him.

Along with his wife, he was loved and cherished by many people including his daughters Tiffany L. Rodrigues (companion Patrick Jezak) and Brittany L. Rodrigues (companion Brandon Tate); grandchildren Brennen A. Sullivan, Briana M. Tate and Ashton Tate; siblings Jose A. Estrela (wife Maria), Salvador Estrela (wife Ana), Rosa Machado and Mario Estrela; as well as several nieces, nephews, family members and friends who will sadly miss him.

Please join in celebrating his life at the Manuel Rogers Funeral Home in Fall River, with a memorial visitation on April 8th from 4-7 P.M. and a service to immediately follow at 7 P.M. by Chaplain Ines Bates.
