Today, we celebrate a life of purpose — a life that touched many, inspired many, and contributed meaningfully to the world of sports and beyond. We pause to reflect on his achievements, the values he upheld, and the legacy he leaves behind. While we mourn his passing, we also cherish the memories and the example he set for all who continue the work he began. Let this ceremony be not only a moment of farewell, but also a moment of gratitude.
May we honor his memory by carrying forward the dedication, passion, and integrity he embodied throughout his life. May his soul rest in peace, and may his legacy live on in the hearts of all who knew him and all who continue to be inspired by his remarkable journey. Before rising in the world of football administration, his interests included equestrian sports; he later also held a role in the equestrian federation.
