On April 22, 2025, Arthur Silvia, 75, went home to be with his Lord and Savior. He was a beloved husband, brother, uncle, and a faithful servant of Christ.
Art was born in 1950 to Arthur and Rose Silvia. His life was marked by humility and steadfast faith. A long-time and devoted member of Long Hill Baptist Church in Trumbull, Arthur was known for his quiet strength and kind spirit. His presence was a constant encouragement to his church family.
He was married to the love of his life, Marilyn Silvia, for 52 blessed years. Together, they exemplified a Christ-centered marriage and a shared life of faithful service. They lived in Bridgeport before moving to Beacon Falls.
Arthur is survived by his dear brother, Gary Silvia; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Gail B. Sachs and Michael B. Sachs; and his brothers-in-law, Stanley Goldman and Mark Goldman (Joan Goldman).
Arthur was a cherished uncle to Scott Callahan (Kate Callahan), Michael Goldman (Andee Goldman), Eric Goldman (Karina Goldman), David Rubenstein (Jennifer Rubenstein), Gary Rubenstein and Stephen Rebello, Lisa Goldman, and Joseph Greco (Marisol Greco).
He was also a beloved great-uncle to Sienna, Mason, and Brayden Callahan; Isabella and Myla Goldman; Emberlee and Nova Lee Goldman; Kristen Costa (Aramis Costa); and Ryan and Sara Rubenstein.
Arthur’s kindness, gentle humor, and enduring faith were a reflection of the Savior he loved. His life touched countless others, and his memory will be treasured by family, friends, and his beloved church community.
In honor of Arthur’s legacy and service, memorial gifts may be made to Long Hill Baptist Church.
We praise the Lord for Arthur’s life and rejoice that he is now in the presence of Christ his Savior, where there is fullness of joy and peace forevermore.
A memorial service was conducted at Long Hill Baptist Church on Saturday, April 26, 2025.
