New York, United States.
Football also mourns when men like Honduran Marvin Sandoval, one of New York City’s best-loved sports journalists, die physically.
The jovial communicator fought against COVID-19 for weeks and, as in those parties from power to power, he fell at minute 90, leaving his colleagues, listeners and relatives sobbing after this bitter outcome. The coverage of sporting events will not be the same, the tri-country area will feel its absence strongly.
ROUTE
Born in San Pedro Sula, since his arrival in New York many decades ago, he linked his life to sports journalism, something he was passionate about and invested much of his time in.
His dedication allowed him to be part of ESPN Radio, where he stood out as the host of the “Ronda Deportiva” program, in which he shared information about football and especially the clubs he loved most: Real España, New York Red Bulls, Barcelona, among others.
Throughout his career, he had the opportunity to follow closely the most important clubs in the world, unique moments in the career of a social communicator, which on many occasions deserved an image to remember.
His Facebook page is adorned with images of Leonel Messi, Carlos Tévez, Andrea Pirlo, Mario Kempes, Neymar Jr., the national teams Maynor Figueroa, Alberth Elis, Antony ‘Choco’ Lozano, among others.
MESSAGE FROM THE WOMAN
Claudia Marchessini, Sandoval’s wife, reported that the details of the funeral will be released shortly, she also asked not to write sad things about him and that they remember him for a beautiful moment they shared.
Finally, the communicator’s life partner wrote, “Last night, the love of my life fell into the arms of God. I ask that your prayers are that God will give us strength and comfort.”
