Pray for him.
Pray for him and his family
Damn bro. I'm heart broken for him. He did lose his son. Apparently he underwent a ton of surgery due to being premature.

He had twins only 23 weeks in. Boy and girl. His son died. :(
Aw man, that's terrible news. I have 1 year old twins that were extremely premature. I couldn't imagine having lost one of them. My heart really goes out to him. These things seem to happen to the nicest people. Thoughts and prayers......
That is absolutely awful. My heart and thoughts go out to he and his family.
Terrible news!
man I cant imagine what he is going through. Must literally feel like his heart has been ripped from his chest. Poor Marcelo and family. :( He always seems like such a kind and cheerful person in his videos. Love Marcelo Garcia.
:(
Terrible news
Oh, no! I can't even imagine the feeling. My world would come apart.
:( When Marcelo hurts... we all hurt
That is heart breaking. I couldnt imagine
Horrible, my heart goes out to Marcelo and his family
Horrible, horrible news. Something no parent should ever have to go through.
Prayers for the one of the G.O.A.T.
I would probably go on a shooting spree if I lost my little one!
Wow how tragic, my best to him and his family.

What an absolute nightmare. Wishing peace and comfort to Marcello and his family.
That is so sad and unfortunate, he seems like the most caring and genuine of people. No one should have to deal with that kind of pain.
Good vibes going his way. Would never wish anyone to have to go through that.
Terrible. Their hearts much ache so much
My twins are 2 now (boy and girl) and I couldn't bare to think of losing one of them. Our son was in NICU for a while and your heart breaks to see that. My heart goes out to him and his family during this time as I know I'd be a broken man. It's amazing how your world changes from having emotions of steel to being a father or mother.Quote:

dang, thats terrible. My thoughts are with him and his family. no one should have to go through that. what a terrible thing to happen to such a great guy and i assume great family.
Terrible, tragic news! No one should ever lose their child :( condolences to his family!!
That's terrible news. I've got a 20 month old daughter, my world would collapse if I lost her. It's such a shame because Marcelo always comes across as such an upbeat and positive person. No one should have to go through that.
Can't even begin to imagine his pain... will be hugging my kids extra tight tonight...
maybe the greatest of all time, and I bet he'd trade away everything he has accomplished for that boy to be with him... terrible news.

Funeral was held for Joey Garcia today in Philadelphia, where he and his twin sister, Olivia had been receiving treatment this past week. Although Philly is 2+ hours away from the NYC academy and although the passing was Monday and the funeral was scheduled for the very next day, there were a large number of students who attended the funeral. Both Marcelo and his wife Tati spoke and expressed their appreciation for the support of so many students who managed to attend. Tati pointed out that she and Marcelo have no family in the States. I was honored to be part of Marcelo's extended family at that moment. I am awaiting the day a few years from now when Olivia is bouncing around the academy and Marcelo is laughing and rolling on the mats with her.
its great to hear they have so much support from everyone. :)Quote:

So sad to hear about this. It's terrible for this to happen to anybody at all, much less somebody as nice as Marcelo.
Sending prayers and positive vibes to the Garcia family. Very sad
