""You will fill me with strength in times of difficulty, and I will always remember what you always told us: always happy and moving forward. Everything I do in this life will always be for the brightest star I have in the sky. As someone once told me, 'When the going gets tough, only the tough get there,' you were always a fighter, and you taught me that from the very beginning. That is the greatest act of love I can do for you: to show you that I can handle anything and that I will never give up.""
""We are deeply saddened to confirm the news we never wanted to share. We are heartbroken by the passing of David Cordón Cano, father of our player 'Davinchi' in the tragic accident in Adamuz, Córdoba. We met you seven months ago, and you quickly won us over with your kindness, warmth, and generosity. We will miss you dearly! Rest in peace, dear friend.""
"The Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) also paid tribute to Cordón, who won two European leagues and finished twice runner-up in the World Championship finals with Spain's soccer beach team between 2001 and 2004."
David Cordón Cano, father of Getafe left-back David Cordon Mancha (Davinchi), was among 42 people killed in the train collision near Adamuz, Córdoba. Cordón Cano had traveled to Madrid to watch Getafe's LaLiga game despite his son not playing due to a knee problem and was returning on the Alvia service bound for Huelva when it was hit by a derailed Iryo high-speed train. Davinchi posted photographs and a heartfelt Instagram tribute. Getafe released a statement mourning his loss and praising his kindness. The Spanish Football Federation noted Cordón's achievements with Spain's beach soccer team between 2001 and 2004.
