It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of not one, but two respected colleagues and dear friends.
EAnews, under the direction of its editor Farrah Boekhoudt, extends heartfelt condolences to the families of these two remarkable individuals who dedicated their lives and work to serving the community of Aruba.
Both shared a deep passion for sports — particularly Aruba Drag Racing. Today, the skies seem to roar like engines, a symbolic echo of the energy and excitement they brought to the track.
Beyond their enthusiasm for motorsports, Hubert Tiel and Manuel da Silva were true professionals in the media industry and loyal friends to many. They were individuals who not only loved their work but also used it as a platform to uplift and support the community, contributing significantly to the world of sports in Aruba.
They were beloved by all — known for their humor, kindness, and the ability to brighten any room with their jokes and good spirits, always showing respect and warmth to everyone they met. Their absence will be profoundly felt, as their presence always brought joy, harmony, and a unique sense of togetherness.
May Hubert Tiel and Manuel da Silva rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord.
You will be deeply missed, but your memory and legacy will forever live in our hearts.
