In Memoriam: Illes Valentin

Illes Valentin It is with profound sorrow and a heavy heart that we announce the untimely passing of Mr. Illes Valentin, a respected figure in the DanceSport community. Mr. Valentin, who served as a WDSF Adjudicator and the Vice President of the Romanian DanceSport Federation, tragically lost his life in a car accident.

In his multiple roles, Mr. Valentin was instrumental in elevating the status and quality of DanceSport both within Romania and internationally. His vision and dedication have left an indelible mark on the community, and his absence creates a void that will be hard to fill.

Mr. Valentin was a reputable figure on the judging panel, known for his knowledge, and love for the sport. As a coach, he nurtured talent and guided countless dancers to the pinnacle of success.  While his professional achievements were many, Mr. Valentin's role as a loving father and husband stood paramount. His family was his cornerstone, and his love and devotion for them were evident to all who knew him. His passing is a big loss to the DanceSport community but definitely even more tragic for a family that meant the world to him.

The void left by Mr. Valentin will be keenly felt by all who were fortunate to know him. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who are grieving this tremendous loss.

As we mourn the departure of a man who was a key figure in the DanceSport community and a cherished family man, we also celebrate his extraordinary life. Let us honour Mr. Valentin's legacy by continuing to strive for excellence in our sport and compassion in our lives.

May Mr. Illes Valentin rest in peace, his memory forever etched in our hearts.
