Always with a smile, always with a joke ready. A friend to all, with a great desire to live. As he had also made clear yesterday in his latest story published on social media in front of the sea of San Giovanni di Sinis, after yet another day of work in the historic family bakery, Paf 5, a few steps from Piazza Stagno.
The death of Marco James Poddi, 41, has left the entire community of Cabras speechless .
Many messages of condolence on social media in these hours. Lifelong friends are posting his photo. Everyone has a fond memory of him. But those who are crying most are the kids born in 1983, his year of birth, those with whom he often organized dinners at the pizzeria to laugh and joke all together. In the obituary dedicated by his peers, we read the phrase "...and in the middle of this sea we will try to discover which star you are" . Words that Lucio Dalla sang in his "La sera dei miracoli".
Because Dalla was his favorite singer , so much so that he had his name tattooed years ago. Marco James Poddi, who died on the motorcycle he loved so much on the road near the village of San Salvatore, was returning home after a relaxing day.
He had lunch at a kiosk in Is Arutas that he usually frequented. Then the tragedy . On the spot, yesterday around 9 pm, relatives and many friends arrived immediately.
Marco Poddi worked in the bakery with his father, also Marco, his mother Eliana Spanu, his brothers Mattia and Claudio and his sister Sofia. After finishing his shift at the bakery, he would get into the white van and go deliver bread to the local supermarkets himself. There will be no funeral. The Poddi family will receive condolences tomorrow at 4:30 p.m. in the town cemetery .
