Today we say goodbye to a great man. A father, a mentor, and an inspiration to everyone around him.

His legacy goes far beyond words — it lives on in every lesson, every act of strength, joy, courage, and generosity he shared with all of us.

He fought bravely through years, always carrying the same joy with which he lived his life.

We will continue to honor his story and legacy with gratitude and love.

Rest in peace, dear Master Marcio 🤍

Ele lutou bravamente por anos, sempre carregando a mesma alegria com que viveu a vida.

Seguimos honrando sua história e legado com gratidão e amor.

Descanse em paz, querido Mestre Marcio 🤍
