Jesús Vicente Díaz Castelvi, a close friend, posted a moving message on Facebook:

"Today I learned something that my mind still doesn't want to accept, but my heart has felt it so much that it hurts just to think about it. Hearing the news that you are no longer with us, my little brother, has left a void in Luyanó that you can't imagine. A good son, friend, father, partner, and brother. An endless stream of memories is overwhelming me in such a way that I can't explain how hard it is for me."

As part of the tribute, Díaz Castelvi also shared images of a symbolic event that brought together dozens of motorcyclists in a caravan. The route included stops at iconic locations in Andy's life, where participants paid homage with flowers, candles, and displays of affection. The roar of the engines became a symbolic farewell act, turning the event into a demonstration of community unity and solidarity.

In one of the posts, Díaz Castelvi continued with an emotional message:

"Beautiful and wonderful memories of you keep coming to my mind, which take away my sleep every time I close my eyes."

The internet user Rafael Rodríguez Fontanet also published an emotional message:

"Tribute to Andy Méndez Portas, our great and courageous friend, companion, brother, almost blood of our blood, whose spirit is forever planted in our hearts. The Cocuyo Team will always keep you in their hearts, brother, you will be welcomed up there as what you are: a king."
