Residents of the city of Cárdenas, Matanzas, mourned the passing of one of their most emblematic figures, affectionately known as El Puma, this Tuesday.
The news was shared by Christian Arbolaez in the group "Cardenenses on Facebook," where he expressed the sadness felt by many residents over the loss of someone who was considered an icon of the city.
"His name echoed in every corner of our city, and though he may not have been famous outside our community, for us he was a symbol of joy and authenticity," wrote Arbolaez.
El Puma, always with a smile and a kind word, was part of the soul of Cárdenas, and his departure leaves a void that will be hard to fill: "He walked our streets with that unique aura, spreading his energy to those around him."
"His stories, his quirks, and his personality will remain in the memory of those who were fortunate enough to share time with him," continued the tribute shared on social media.
Additionally, he sent a message of condolences to his family and friends, expressing: "May they find comfort in the love and affection that El Puma left planted in the lives of all who knew him."
Finally, he said: “May he rest in peace, knowing that his memory will remain alive in the hearts of his people, his Cárdenas.”
