Asturian basketball is in mourning today for the sudden death last Wednesday of referee Jonathan Izquierdo Ordax from Aviles at 40 years of age. Everything seems to indicate that Jhony’s death, as he was known among his friends, could be related to a heart condition.
Although he was also a great fan of motorcycles, his sports connection was basketball for years, where he worked as a player but also as a referee.
In fact, yesterday the Asturias Basketball Federation itself issued a statement deeply regretting his loss. “Absolutely devastated to hear the news of the death of our referee and also a player. Thank him for his dedication for so many years and we send all our support to family, friends, referees and loved ones », communicated the highest basketball sports authority in the region.
Numerous displays of affection and affection towards the family of Jhony Izquierdo also took place yesterday on social networks. Close sources confirm that the day of his death he had been playing a game with his friends.
His body will be received this Friday, at seven in the afternoon, in the multi-denominational room of the Avilés funeral home, where a family ceremony will be held and his cremation will proceed.
