by To Cordoba Jonathan Raúl Juan (34) Life was smiling on him, but it abruptly went out this Monday night when he was cleaning the pool at his house, in Puerto Iguazú, Misiones, and the handle of the bottom sweeper made contact with a cable. The shock he received killed him instantly despite the fact that his family helped him and rushed him to the SAMIC Hospital in the city of Las Cataratas.
The tragedy occurred this Monday, around 8 p.m., in a home on Mónica Rodas Street, in the Hermoso neighborhood. The victim was in the solarium of the natatorium cleaning the bottom when the metal handle touched the wiring of the patio lights. Although he was in good physical condition, his body could not withstand the passage of the current and his heart stopped beating.
Jonatan was a native of CórdobaBut he had been living in Misiones for about 15 years, where he met his partner, with whom he had three daughters (aged 12 and 5, plus a baby who was a few months old).
In the automotive spare parts sales house where he worked he had become an indispensable part and he aimed to become manager in a short time.
On Monday he said goodbye to his colleagues in the best of moods. The thing is their vacation began and this thursday He would leave with his family and a brother heading to the beaches of Brazil to recharge energy. Nothing foreshadowed the tragedy.
Although more than a decade ago he had exchanged his native Córdoba for the missionary jungle, “Joni” maintained his passion for Talleres and fernet intact. He still spoke with the typical tune of that Mediterranean province even with the 1,500 kilometers of distance and the years that had passed.
As soon as he set foot in Puerto Iguazú, he connected with other noodles fans, a club he used to go to see whenever an opportunity presented itself.
Emanuel Leones, the president of the local branch “Gonzalo Klusener”, said: “He was one of the first to join. He was very fanatical. He first joined the group of fans and when we decided to set up the affiliate, he was there first again. He always came and paid the annual fee, great guy.”
With Jonatan he shared many trips to see his beloved Talleres, a club of which he was a member. When the Córdoba team had to play in the Promotion, he was there to encourage and carry the rag of the subsidiary and show himself as a proud follower of the club.
His fanaticism was such that He got married wearing the Talleres t-shirt. And this Tuesday They watched him with that jacket that brought as many smiles as tears. “I also took my shirt and placed it on the drawer at the wake. We are going to bury him with the flag of the subsidiary, the one that accompanied us to so many places,” revealed Leones.
“Joni” was a family guy, but he was also the first to confirm his attendance at meetings or for games. In Puerto Iguazú he played in the Veterans League, even though he was only 34 years old. “Last year he became champion with the Estrella Marina club. And this season he was playing for APOS,” said his friend.
Although he handled both profiles, he was not very skilled with the ball at his feet and was always seen playing as a forward marker. “He was quite rustic, but with a lot of dedication,” said someone who saw him in the pastures. He also made time to dabble in paddle tennis, where he had another group of friends.
For the family, It is the second blow that must be assimilated in a short time. Close friends said that a few months ago the victim’s brotherwho had arrived from Córdoba to join the vacation in Brazil, He lost his wife and baby at the time of childbirth..
In the Talleres branch they know that the meetings will no longer be the same without “Joni”, that fan who even stole time from family birthdays to share the unconditional love for “La T”.
