Very sad. Rodrigo almost quit football to be with his father in the last couple of months. It took a lot of courage.
Our condolences, Rodrigo. No parent has failed when tehy can see a child like Rodrigo.

Rodrigo Faria's Father- Condolences

The Tribune reported that Rodrigo Faria's father passed away last week after a long struggle with cancer. Rodrigo went to Rio shortly before his father passed away.
Rodrigo has been playing under tremendous strain. His father was not well and Rodrigo even contemplated staying in Rio to be with him, missing the MLS season. This is the reason Rodrigo reported to the Fire spring camp after many of the other players.
I encourage all Fire fans to send Rodrigo their condolences.

I was going to ask about this in an earlier thread. Is there any way we can contact Rodrigo in order to send our condolences?

Any fans who wish to offer him condolences can send an email to RFaria22@hotmail.com. I'm sure he would love to get support from the fans in Chicago. Thanks.
