Jordi and Marc (his son)
I cannot get over it. Nothing to do with father rights but a lot with fatherhood.
On Saturday, November 8, Jordi Seriola (naked on the picture with his son, Marc) gave his wife Siret a good-bye kiss at four in the morning. He is a heavy, frantic biker. He is going for a morning bike ride in the country side of Sabadel, a little town not far from Barcelona (Spain). He promises his wife Siret to be back for Marc’s lunch, which he cannot miss. He will ride back to the bike store which he owns.
Two hours later, Siret is waken up by the police, who tells her that Jordi is dead. Killed by a twenty- three old driver who had three times the legal limit of alcohol in his blood.
Jordi was thirty three years old, happy with three things in mind: his family-Siret and Marc- biking and nature. I don’t know how to say that in Catalan: I think of you, man.
Siret, Marc and Jordi
If only ALL mothers in this world understood -like Siret- the importance a dad has in the lives of their chidren… Descansa en Paz, Jordi. Aqui te cuidamos a los tuyos.
Hi!, Pierre. This memoriam is really touching. I think that it has to do with a father’s rights. Because a caring father has the right to watch his son grow, a right that was pulled off in an unfair way.
Descanse en paz Jordi.
I am so sorry for the loss.
I am so terribly and deeply saddened by this tragic loss. Jordi had a magical effect on everyone he came into contact with and had enormous amounts of love for life, his family and friends. He was a tremendously loving father and just the mention of Marc and Siret would light up his face. I cherish the memories we shared and my thoughts and prayers go out to Siret, Marc and family. Jordi my friend and brother, you are deeply loved and will truly be missed.
Hello, I must say that I knew Jordi, he fixed my bike several times and that everyone in our town (Sant Quirze del Vallès) is very sad for this terrible loss.
Moreover, I think this has everything to do with father rights: the right not to be killed by some ass**** and the right to see his little kid grow.
I just hope for the man who caused the accident to be in jail for a long long time, but knowing how the Spanish Justice works I sincerely don’t know if that’s going to happen.
Jordi was an an exceptional man with an enthusiasm that was only outdone by the size of his heart. His death was an absolute tragedy, but his life was an eloquent testimony to how people should look after each other. All those who knew him could sense something special about his generosity of spirit. I personally have no doubt that he is in a very good place, because if someone as good as him isn’t then life is a bad joke. God bless and care for you and your family. It was you who was the crack!
I’m so sad to learn this only now in 2009. I knew Jordi through a high school exchange program and have been looking for him online over the last couple of years. Blessings to his family he leaves behind.
