"His name resonated in every corner of our city, and although he may not have been famous outside our environment, 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, infecting those around him with his energy.”

"His stories, his quirks, and his personality will remain in the memory of those who were lucky enough to share moments 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."

Lastly, he said: "May he rest in peace, knowing that his memory will live on in the hearts of his people, his Cárdenas."

The death of any person always causes great sorrow among their loved ones; when it happens to a popular figure, the sadness is felt in the streets, in the community, and throughout the city.

This Tuesday, with great sadness, colleagues, students, and friends of Professor Isabel Mata bid farewell to an emblematic figure in education in Sagua La Grande, Villa Clara, where she left a deep mark on generations of educators.
