My dear friend Mantega, why did you have to leave us so soon? We spoke on the phone just recently, and now....
It breaks our hearts 💔.
10 years ago our paths crossed for the first time, and I am grateful for every moment of life we were able to share. Thank you!
We send our deepest condolences to his family. Mantega leaves behind his wife and his one-year-old daughter, among others.
We decided to make our 2026 Christmas donation 10 months early to help bring him home and support his family during this difficult time. If you knew him and would also like to help, please use this link, the money will go directly to his wife Sophia:

Rest in peace, Mantega Cirko, SURF THE CLOUDS! We will miss you.
