Born on April 21, 1997, in Fogo, Cabo Verde, Lianes was the beloved son of Licinio C. Brandao and the late Maria Anete Gomes Depina. He grew up surrounded by a large and loving family who remained at the center of his life.

A proud son, devoted brother, and loyal friend, he was deeply family-oriented and cherished every moment spent with his loved ones. His humor and lighthearted personality brought smiles to many and left lasting memories for all who knew him.

Lianes was a great friend, a natural comedian, and someone who truly loved to have fun.

He is preceded in death by his loving mother, Maria Anete Gomes Depina.

Lianes leaves behind his loving father, Licinio C. Brandao; his cherished siblings, Neusa, Leandro, Ledy, and Lisandro; along with a host of loving aunts, uncles, extended family members, and friends who will miss him dearly and forever hold his memory in their hearts.
