Emilio Mercado III Obituary

With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Emilio Mercado III of Brooklyn, New York, who passed away on March 6, 2025. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Emilio Mercado III to pay them a last tribute.

As we bid Emilio farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Emilio is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.

He was loved and cherished by many people including: his parents, Emilio Mercado, Jr. and Priscilla (Arroyo); his husband Chris Reichheld; his sisters, Theresa Mercado and Lisa Mercado (Lisa Spinosa); and his aunt Rachel Filomeno. He was also cherished by numerous loving relatives and friends.

Donations can be made in his honor to the American Stroke Association and a service to celebrate his life will be held at a later date.
