Sad news.
Buen Camino, peregrino. May he rest peacefully.
There are way worse ways to die, but I so feel for those he left behind.

What a grand way to go, on the Camino! Rest in peace fellow Peregrino!

Sad for all those he left behind but not a bad way to go far better than those who suffer from dementia or problems affecting mental or physical independence

You found the right path! Rest in peace precious pilgrim.......

Duerme Bien, Peregrino. If it were my time, I could think of no better way, or place.

Since we all will be departing this mortal coil, my choice would be to have it occur while doing something I wanted do do, and enjoyed doing, and held a special meaning for me. Ultreia, Pilgrim.

Sad news, but in the so-true magic words of Kenny Rogers, "the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep". And although it probably caused upset for others in the albergue, for him, what better place. RIP

 

[Mana di Castanja]

Buen Camino peregrino..i am sure you are still following the right path now! GBU!

 

[IngridF]

Rest easy pilgrim, walking towards heavens gate.

 

[Koidream]

Every camino has a reason...
R.I.P.

This happened in a Hostal where I was staying in 2015, and at another nearby a couple of years earlier. My thoughts then - and now - turn of course to his family, but also to the camino family with whom I hope he had a laughter-filled pilgrim dinner the night before. I do think how hard it must be for those folk to walk on. May they wallk with his spirit, and the joy of the journey they shared with him, however briefly.

Yep, no one gets out of here alive. So when you go, let's all hope we're doing something we love. RIP

Rest in peace pilgrim. Sending prayers for his family.

 

[pilgrim b]

Prayers for his family and condolences for their loss, always remember he was doing what he wanted to do and he will always be a pilgrim.
May you all receive the blessing of strength to cope with your loss.

[Eddiebee]

Buen Camino, my brother.

 

[David]

Falling out of your broken body and up into the arms of Angels in your sleep? On Camino?
Yes please.
The Camino provides, in all situations. May he be surrounded by welcoming love and may his family, in their grief, be at ease and comforted - All is Well, He is Well.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[joanjf]

Yes an Angel in Heaven now.
My thoughts are with his family now I hope they get some Peace from knowing he flew peacefully and happy.
This happened to us as a family our Brother died in Triacastella very much younger in 2013.
I posted on this site and got many beautiful messages from those who met our Brother.
Rest In Peace

 

[Bob from L.A. !]

I could only hope to go this way and on a Camino when my ticket gets punched for the final stage coach out of town.

 

[YvonneT]

What a great way to die! In your sleep on a pilgrimage. No suffering. But sad for his family...

True, I would rather go quickly, pursuing something I loved, than die by bits and pieces.

How very sad. Reminds me of The Way with Martin Sheen. May his family find the peace that I am sure he has found.

I can only hope that when I die, a friend of mine will and can write such words about me.

What a good man he was : Tony Palumbo!

Thanks for posting this link Bradypus -- what a beautiful tribute to a beautiful soul!

 

[RumAndChupacabras]

A gentle and peaceful death, while on Camino de Santiago Compostela! What a lovely way to go. RIP

 

[Thomas@Albany]

Such a beautiful way to move on, sleeping after a good day doing what one loved. I feel sad for the family, but maybe they are happier that he died on the Camino than in a traffic accident. His friends tribute speaks to a decent man. May we all be friends to our friends like that, and remembered that way.

R.I.P. & Buen Camino........

May his soul rest in peace.
