Alfredo MALDONADO GUERRA

I am very sad to learn that Alfredo has passed so early in life. He was a great colleague, a smart and warm person with a fantastic sense of humour.

Sincere condolences on the passing of Alfredo, to all his family and friends.
He was much loved and will be much missed.
Sending sympathy from all the animals and team at the DSPCA in Rathfarnham.

Querida familia Maldonado Guerra, mis más profundas condolencias para ustedes... les mando un reconfortante abrazo y mis mejores deseos para una pronta resignación

Wynzen, you have family in México that you don´t know... please tell me if you need something anytime. I send you a big hug.

Gecondoleerd, Wynzen. Veel sterkte toegewenst.

Nuestra mayores condolencias a la familia Maldonado Guerra.

Tuve la oportunidad de conocer a Alfredo en el Tec de Monterrey en 1995. Se convirtió pronto en un amigo muy querido con su mágico carácter solar y amable. Seguimos en contacto a lo largo de los años y coincidimos en Madrid y en Dublín, cada vez como si nuestra amistad no hubiese cambiado nunca. Cuando supo de su diagnóstico me dijo: “ No trabajes tanto. No merece la pena.” Querido Monito, no te vamos a olvidar. Nos vas a hacer muchísima falta con tu aura siempre tan positiva. Vuela alto.

Dear Wynzen and family, my deepest condolences to you and your family on the loss of Alfredo.

I'm very sorry to hear the news of Alfredo's passing. He was such a lovely, joyful person and a very talented creator. We had lovely chats during the Dublin meetups and we will all miss him greatly. Sincere condolences to Alfredo's husband and family at this very difficult time.

Losing a loved one is incredibly difficult, and my heart goes out to you Wynzen and all the family during this painful time. May you find strength and solace during this difficult time, surrounded by the love and support of those around you.

Really sorry to hear about your loss. Thinking of you at this tough time

Wynzen and family,
Receive my deepest condolences. I remember when Alfredo first arrived in Ireland: a small thunderbolt of energy and always smiling. I have good memories of sporadic chats at different events after Microsoft ¡Que en paz descanse!

Me and my family are deeply saddened by Alfredo's passing.
I wish Wynzen and Alfredo's family my sincere and profound condolences. Alfredo will always be a ray of sunshine in my heart as he was an important part of my happy life in Ireland. My most joyful memories were with him, Ralph, Thierry and Wynzen at the Front Lounge, the George, the Pod... His stay in my family in France will always leave a light in my parents' heart.
Alfredo you will always shine in mine.

My deepest condolences on the passing of Alfredo, far too soon. We worked together when he was in CNGL. He always brought a warm smile and a kind heart, it was such a pleasure to know him.

I think it was Maya Angelou who once said "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

That’s exactly how I remember Alfredo. We talked and did many things together but in the end what resonates the most to me is how Alfredo made me feel.

No matter how much of a grey day you were in, if you were lucky enough to stumble upon Alfredo in the corridor or in the street, the world would suddenly turn into giggles, laughter and smiles.

Thank you for making all of these days full of colour and sunshine, you will be missed so much <3 <3 <3

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Wynzen and family. I hope all of the loving memories of Alfredo help you find peace and comfort.

All our Love on your next journey, we miss you dearly. Our condolences to Wynzen and family.

Dearest Alfredo thank you so much for the joy, friendship and belly laughs, you were one of lifes radidators thank you Though we need to weep your loss,

To take the words of John O Donohue.

"You dwell in that safe place in our hearts
Where no storm or night or pain can reach you.

Your love was like the dawn
Brightening over our lives,
Awakening beneath the dark
A further adventure of color.

The sound of your voice
Found for us
A new music
That brightened everything.

Whatever you enfolded in your gaze
Quickened in the joy of its being;
You placed smiles like flowers
On the altar of the heart.
Your mind always sparkled
With wonder at things.

Though your days here were brief,
Your spirit was alive, awake, complete.

We look toward each other no longer
From the old distance of our names;
Now you dwell inside the rhythm of breath,
As close to us as we are to ourselves.

Gra agus Giggles Angela :-)

It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Alfredo. My heart goes out to Wynzen and all of the family. May his joyous soul rest in peace

Wynzen and family,
Thinking of you during this difficult time.
Treasuring those moments spent with Alfredo while working together in Microsoft and remembering Alfredo’s smile, joyous nature and positive attitude.

Familia Sevilla Maldonado.

My condolences to his family and friends. I was his neighbour for few years and always he was with nice vibes and good conversation. Very respectful human being. Peace

I worked with Alfredo at Trinity College between 2008 and 2012 and met with him several times after that. In all those years, I cannot remember a single instance of him being in a bad mood. He always had so much energy and lit up the room with his laughter. In the last couple of days, I reminisced in my memories and looked at old pictures. Very fondly, I remember a Mexican breakfast with him and Wynzem at their house after a joyous night out (I do not so fondly remember the hangover though).

Needless to say, it came with great sadness to hear of Alfredo's passing. I still can't believe that he is gone, but it gives me strength to know that he always lived his live to the fullest. May he rest in peace.

My heart goes out to Wynzen and Alfredo's relatives and friends. I wish you strength in the upcoming days and send my heartfelt condolences.

You will be greatly missed Alfredo, by I and your many friends in Ireland, as across the globe.

My most heartfelt sympathy to you Wynzen, Betty and all the Maldonado Guerra family.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Alfredo. When I think of him
It’s his lovely smile that springs to mind. May he rest in peace
Take care Wynzen ❤️

I first met Alfredo when he and my friend Wynzen started dating in 2003. Since then, I visited them in Dublin on many occasions and they both stayed at my house in Groningen many times.

I specifically remember a trip to Drenthe when Alfredo wanted to see the Drentse hunebedden (megalithic tombes) and the three of us went on an expedition to see all of them.

Those visits in Ireland and The Netherlands were always happy times, and we shared lots of laughs and drinks and good meals in the pub together.

I will always remember Alfredo for his friendly humour and kindheartedness. My heartfelt condolances go out to Alfredo’s family and especially to Alfredo’s husband, my lifelong best friend Wynzen. You are in my thoughts and in my heart.

Love, Hanneke Niessink

Gecondoleerd, Wynzen.
Veel sterkte toegewenst.

My deepest sympathy to you Wynzen. I was very sorry to hear of Alfredo’s death. My thoughts are with you and his family. Valerie

Heel erg gecondoleerd met het verlies van Alfredo. Als collega werd hij ontzettend gewaardeerd. Hij had een schat aan kennis van kunstmatige intelligentie en hij was praktisch ingesteld. Het was een genoegen om met hem samen te werken en hij fleurde elke vergadering op met een vrolijke, positieve instelling.

Bêste Wynzen en famylje,

Kondolearre mei it ferlies fan jim partner en famyljelid.
In soad krêft tawinske de kommende tiid.

Beste Wienzen condoleerd met het overlijden van Alfredo. Wij wensen je heel veel sterkte voor de komende tijd.

We are so sorry to hear of Alfredo’s passing, too young, too soon. We will remember fondly his infectious smile and great humour.

Our thoughts are with Wynzen and Alfredo’s family at this difficult time.

Alfredo was always smiling, always helpful, a joy to work with. He was a colleague who would always brighten my day. He left far too soon. Condolences to the family.

Mi más sentido pésame a toda la familia. Alfredo siempre será recordado como la persona inteligente, sensible y alegre que fue. Lo extrañaré mucho. Extrañaré su buen humor y su manera tan práctica de ver la vida. Siempre generoso con los amigos y siempre considerado. Deja un gran vacío en nuestro grupo.

I'm so sorry to hear about Alfredo. He was a joy to know, and cheered up the lab at Trinity! Gone too soon, but we were lucky to know him while he was here..

When we met many years ago working on a TEC project, Alfredo and I quickly became friends. We immediately started making memories, first by going out for fun in Monterrey, and later when he showed Victor Luna and me around Paris and London. I will always treasure my memories of when he and Wynzen so graciously hosted me on another trip to Dublin. Alfredo and I always kept in touch throughout all of these years and we continued to see each other whenever he came to Monterrey, so I am lucky to have built a very close friendship with him.

Alfredo was one of my best and dearest friends and although I am already missing him terribly, I am sure that he will always be with me, in my memories and in my heart. I pray that his love and warmth also comfort Wynzen, Betty, Guillermo, his mom and all of his family and friends.

My sincere condolences for your loss. I will always remember those great conversations that Alfredo and I used to have, and of course those great and funny times we spent when we had the chance to meet in Mexico. He was such a smart and positive person. May God give you all, strenght and peace at this sorrowful time.

Alfredo is one of the warmest and most vibrant soul I met. I am very lucky to have him as a friend. I will miss him very much.

When I started at Trinity, I shared an office with Alfredo. He made me feel welcome and was such a joyous figure in my life. As time passed, we saw each other less, and I was lucky to randomly bump into Alfredo in Portugal a few years after. Alfredo will always be a significant figure in my life; he was so kind, and I'm privileged to be his friend.

I should have commissioned a shirt.

Love,
Shane

All my thoughts to the loving husband Wynzen and all Alfredo's family, including Betty who I got the honor to meet in person, Guillermo and Beatriz.

Alfredo has been a great friend in my years in Dublin, and we kept in contact so we could eventually meet over the years, but not as much as I would have loved to. You are being deeply missed, and I'm glad we could still meet up one last time in person in Dublin to attend your very lovely, special moment with Wynzen.

Your strength, your good spirit, your sense of humor are inspirational to me. You will never be forgotten, and will remain alive in my heart forever! I love you and I miss you horribly!

---------------------------
Todos mis pensamientos para Wynzen, un marido que ha demostrado mucho amor, y a toda la familia, particularmente Betty, quien he tenido el honor de conocer en persona, pero también Guillermo y Beatriz.

Alfredo ha sido un amigo mayúscula en mis años en Dublín, y hemos guardado un contacto suficiente para encontrarnos unas (demasiado pocas) veces a lo largo de los años, aunque me hubiera gustado verte mucho más. Te estoy echando muchísimo de menos y me alegro de haber tenido el honor de estar una última vez en persona en Dublín para esa ocasión tan especial con Wynzen.

Tu fuerza, tu espíritu positivo, tu sentido del humor son toda una inspiración para mí. No te olvidaré nunca, seguirás vivo para siempre en mi corazón. ¡Te amo y te extraño una barbaridad!

I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Alfredo. I had the privilege of working in the same centre as him, and I will always remember his warm smile and the positive aura he brought to the workplace. His kindness and cheerful spirit touched everyone around him, and he will be greatly missed.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences during this difficult time. My thoughts are with you Wyncen and Alfredo's family.

With deepest sympathy,
Loredana

I am deeply sorry for Alfredo loss, he
was a truly remarkable person whose impact on all of us will never be forgotten, my thoughts and prayers are with Alfredo’s family during this difficult time. May you find comfort and strength in each other and in the cherished memories of such a wonderful soul.

With heartfelt sympathy.

As a colleague in TCD and a friend, Alfredo has always been a great presence who would contribute a lot to a nice atmosphere in any group of people. His natural enthusiasm made people feel comfortable and happy around him. Pub nights with him were worth remembering... although not always remembered, for obvious reasons!

He was very curious and always interested in everything, apparently. Naturally he was knowledgeable about lots of things, but very humble about it: the conversation would turn by chance to an obscure topic and you would be surprised to discover that he knew everything about it. For instance, he spoke French very well.

I'm happy to have met you, Alfredo. Bon voyage!

My sincere thoughts to his family and to Wynzen.

My sincerest sympathies to Wynzen, Betty, Guillermo, Beatriz and his extended family.

Alfredo was always warm and kind to me whenever we met up. He would light up the room with his catchy smile.

He was an inspiration to me, having achieved a PhD at Trinity college Dublin.

His unique camp sense of humour always brought a smile to my face and everyone else's. He had a big heart and a caring nature. He had great empathy for people even when they hadn't kept in touch as much as they would have liked. I will always remember his hugs.

Gone far too soon.

Dear Vincent and Maldonado Guerra family,

May you find ease for your unimaginable pain from Alfredo’s departure, knowing that he will transcend through the light he leaves within those amazing human beings touched by his friendship. It is simply not possible to count our blessings in life without thinking of the path we crossed and shared with him. Sending you all my love and deepest condolences.

I know that there are no words that can ease your pain at the loss of a person as beautiful as Alfredito. I am with you in your pain and I ask God to give you enough strength to endure these difficult moments. With love, Analía González

Alfredo was always such a great friend! A light in my life for 30 years. He will be greatly missed.
To his family and friends, please receive my deepest sympathies. I am here for you. Alfredo's light will keep on shining forever, just from a different place. May he rest in peace.

Dear Cousins and Tia Betty,

I was deeply saddened to hear about your Alfredo’s passing. Alfredo was such a wonderful person and will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and I will always remember him with love and admiration.

With deepest sympathy,

Nelda Guerra

Querido primo,

Mi corazón está en lágrimas siento mucho tu partida. Una persona fuerte, luchadora y buscador de caminos nuevos. Abriendo puertas a muchos y llenando de amor a donde te dirigías.
Te vamos a extrañar muchísimo gracias por todo lo que diste descansa en paz querido primo.

I am deeply saddened by Alfredo's passing, and I will miss him dearly. My sincerest condolences to Wynzen, Betty, Guillermo, and Beatriz. I hope they find the strength and peace they need, especially in the difficult weeks and months ahead.

Alfredo was my best friend from the moment I first moved to Ireland. We shared a lot in common, particularly our love for language and technology. In the early years, we often went out together with our mutual friends to places like the Front Lounge, the George, Gubu, and the Pod. We even shared an apartment in Ranelagh for a few years. I feel honoured to have introduced Alfredo to Wynzen and was so happy for them when they became a couple. It was clear that they loved each other very much. Over the years, our lives became busier, and I spent more time away from Ireland. However, we still managed to maintain our friendship and found time to meet many times to catch up and share our lives' stories. While some friendships naturally fade over time, I feel like ours never did, and for that, I am very grateful.

One of the things I will miss most is the many "Alfredoisms"; funny words and phrases that he used to describe situations, people, and things. Some of them were silly, made-up combinations of multiple languages, like Dutch and English. He always managed to bring a smile to people's faces.

Alfredo was a truly special person, and we are all fortunate to have known him.

Love is endless.

Dear Wynzen, dear relatives of Alfredo, our sincere condoleances with the passing of Alfredo. Folkert Vlasma.

Heartflet condolences to Wynzen and all Alfredo's family and friends. I worked alongisde Alfredo for a few years in Trinity College. He was a great colleague, helpful, always good for a chat and great fun to be around - happy side out at all time. His passing is very sad indeed. Rest in Peace Alfredo.

I will always remember your advice, you are the best big brother that anyone can wish for, so wise and admirable personality.

I only going to remember the good times that is always every day of your life, always to be friendly, with a positive attitude.

This is a very sad moment because of your departure, but I am happy because now you are in peace.

I will always love you with all of my heart, my mind and soul.

You will live in my heart always.

Today is a very sad day for all of us who knew and loved this beautiful soul that was Alfredo. Just wanted to say that I'm TRULY and DEEPLY sorry for the passing of our beloved friend. May he rest in peace for eternity. I will always remember him for the beautiful person he was from the inside and the outside. Always happy and full of life!!
My most sincere condolences to Wynzen, Betty and his family. Thank you Wynzen and Betty for being there with him on his last days and hours. And for making sure he was truly happy in the midst of all the ordeal he went thru. ♥ 🙏 🕊 💐

Very very saddened to hear of Alfredos passing. He was a great neighbour and a beautiful human being. Sincerest sympathies to Vincent, and to all of his family and friends. Mark, Bob, Nikki

Heartbroken to hear of Alfredo’s passing. We only became friends within the last couple of years but it was a friendship full of great chats and laughs. His cheeky personality endeared him to many people and that was evident given the wide circle of friends he had. My condolences to Wynzen, all of Alfredo’s family and his close friends. He’ll be watching over you all.

Alfredo was unique in many aspects and always made an impression wherever he went. I remember when he came to Dublin, back in 2000 and stayed at the same B&B that I stayed when I arrived a year before. I had the pleasure of working with him and shared his witty sense of humour with our friends every time we went clubbing or at parties with friends. He will be greatly missed. Rest in peace my dear.

Alfredo first came to a Dublin sewing meetup in February 2023. It felt like he fit right in immediately. He always was so happy to chat all things sewing and had such a twinkle in his eyes as he detailed his latest make. He was such a super star at Dublin Frocktails that March and we'll all always remember his catwalk strut that night. He was such a strong member of the community. Everyone in the Dublin sewing community is so sad and heartbroken to hear of his passing and we will miss him so much. All our thoughts and love to Wynzen, your families and all Alfredo's friends. We will remember him xx

Is in this moment of sorrow and bereavement that I choose to allow only for the happy and pleasant memories lived with Alfredo to remain with me; all the years spent together in university, the parties, the nights out dancing, laughing, horsing around, his characteristic resilient twinkle in his eyes, always framed with a perfect smile and witty expressions.

He might not be here to keep us company, but as long as the memory is still in all of us, he will remain -resiliently- with us.

Wherever is we go when we transcend, I have faith he will still be the Alfredo we learn to love, respect and appreciate.

May you rest in peace now Monito... you will always be our friend.

Rest in peace querido Alfredo.

I was so sad to hear of Alfredo's passing. I only met him a few times at some of our sewing meet ups. He had such a joyful presence and radiated kindness, he was also the king of pattern matching! He will be very much missed. Sending love to Wynzen and all of Alfredo's family and friends.

Alfredo, may your true love and friendship in this life continue to surround us. May you continue to hold us in strength of spirit, just as you illuminated us through your beautiful presence.

Sending lots of love and strength to Wynzen and all of Alfredo's family and friends at this sad time.
Lots of love
