“He leaves us but he isn’t going anywhere, because Diego is eternal.”

“Today I say goodbye to a friend and the world says goodbye to an eternal genius. One of the best ever. An unparalleled magician. He leaves too soon but leaves a legacy without limits and a void that will never be filled. Rest in peace ace. You will never be forgotten.”
