RUSHLESS CHAPTER BELGIUM

Vouneuil sous Biard, February 16, 2024

It's gray, it's sad, we are all gathered to help our friend Marcel, deeply shocked by the sudden death of Mrs. Kiki, the woman of his life...

Vouneuil sous Biard, June 27, 2024

The sun shines brightly, but sadness, incomprehension, disbelief...

We are together again, but our friend Marcel Cabdevila, our rugby biker, is no longer present.

Or rather it is there, omnipresent, in our hearts, in our souls, in our eyes…

But Marcel is absent, gone for his last ride, gone to join his star, gone to find his Kiki, the love of his life, now reunited for eternity in a better world...

And we are here, Family, Friends, Colleagues, bikers, rugby players…

It's not easy to realize what's happening, that we won't see our smiling colossus anymore, some of us were lucky enough to hear him one last time a few hours before his departure for the paradise of beautiful people...

I had the good fortune to hear him two days before, weakened, certainly, but still having the strength to laugh and respond with great humor to one of my stupidities….

Because Marcel had this charisma, this quiet strength, this conviction, which can move mountains...

We all had plans with him, trips, visits, good times shared in all simplicity but with so much sincerity...

But here we are, helpless in the face of so much injustice, struggling to realize the atrocious truth...

Sadness and illness got the better of his desire to live, the absence of the Woman of his life probably took away his desire to want...

We bikers, from Belgium and France, his friends from the Val de Vienne Chapter and the Rushless Chapter Belgium, escorted by the Gendarmerie, had the honor of escorting him to his last stop, the ultimate one.

The crematorium was far too small for this Great Man, room for his family and those closest to him, we listened with respect to the various speeches given.

Then, return to Voureuil sous Biard, where everyone tells a few anecdotes, a few adventures, a few emotions experienced in this magnificent company that was that of our Friend.

And then, the most moving, the most absorbing of missions... escorting the funeral urn to the cemetery... there were many sobs, tears, feelings of anger and refusal to see our colossus of Poitou reduced to ashes...

Goodbye Marcel, I know that you will give M'dame Kiki our greetings, we know that you have now found your soul mate, your Love, its reassuring tranquility, you know that now reunited, nothing more can happen to you, except moments of happiness and complicity.

We will never forget you, and we will accomplish the projects that you had instigated, never failing to remember that it is thanks to You…

You, my Friend, our Friend, you will always have a special place in the very heart of our souls...

Goodbye, Marcel, because sooner or later we will join you, we will join you and we are certain that when we arrive, you will have concocted for us a program of which you alone have the secret…

Hello Artist
