Dear friends and family,

Today, we gather to bid farewell to an exceptional human being, David Bikoff. I would like to take this moment to share a few words in his honor and to express my gratitude for having had the privilege of knowing him.

I was fortunate enough to cross paths with David during his vacation in Colombia in 2023. In that short time, I realized what a remarkable person he was: kind, generous, and full of joy. David had the ability to light up any room with his presence and to create unforgettable memories in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to meet him.

It is difficult to find the right words to convey what David meant to our lives. His passion for life, contagious humor, and kindness will always remind us that, despite the challenges, there are many beautiful moments in life to be thankful for.

David, we will always remember you with fondness and gratitude. Thank you for sharing your time and your joy with us. Rest in peace, dear friend.
