Meus sentimentos querida Clarice e familia, Deus conforte seu coração.
Diego uma pessoa diferenciada, me ajudou e tivemos ótimos momentos juntos. Ele me ajudou a reformar minha casa e construir uma churrasqueira. Tivemos também uma viagem para esquiar no Colorado.
RIP Diego

My deepest condolences go out to Diego’s family and loved ones. You were such a fun and good person. The way you would cook at a party to make sure people enjoyed themselves, your smiles and laughs were the best. Will never forget the one movie we saw together. Your service to the public commands the deepest respect. A shining light gone way too soon. May God care for your spirit until Lord Jesus returns. See you in the next life brother Diego.
I met Diego when I worked at The Cheesecake Factory. I will always remember the impact he had on me. I struggled with a lot during those times and he was my reminder to keep a smile of my face and to remain positive. His kind warming spirit will always be remembered. 💕
