The dreams of 23-year-old Kyprianos Papaioanos were ignominiously extinguished after the efforts to locate him had a tragic end. The tragic news of the Cypriot student's death was announced last night by his relatives and friends, who posted goodbye to the 23-year-old.
In forty days of mourning, the community of Avgorou mourns the loss of a rare and gifted child as they describe him.
Community leader of Avgorou Panagis Michaelas
"The Community has been in a difficult situation since Wednesday. Today, however, the climate is heavier because an identification was made and Kyprianos is dead. That's why as a community council, we called an emergency session and decided 40 days mourning, community flags at half mast and the funeral expenses will be from the community council".
Devastated, the residents say the best about his character and what a good kid he was.
An excellent and exemplary student, he had a lifetime ahead of him, which was ignominiously extinguished on that Tuesday night. The climate that prevails at the Kokkinochoria High School, Fotis Pitta, where the Music High School is housed, is also heavy, where the unfortunate 23-year-old studied and took his first steps in Byzantine music. Students of the school, in their own way, said goodbye to the unfortunate young man, forming his name with black school bags.
Director of Lyceum Kokkinochoria, Adamos Sergiou
“He was an excellent student in performance ethics. He was very good at Byzantine music for this reason and was a cantor in his community in Avgorou. A student who always excelled and represented the school in all events. Our sorrow for his loss is very great. Condolences to his family, to his father, Father Christodoulos who is also our colleague, to his mother, to his siblings. He certainly had dreams, he continued to study law in Thessaloniki, he built his life, he was engaged"
A close friend of Kyprianou
"We grew up with him, what I will say are memories of 18 years old. And from his house and from the parks and stadiums. Everywhere you went, no one had anything bad to say. He was a golden man and Golden with a capital. A graduate of the special forces, he finished his internship, he was a singer, he sang constantly during the summers and this year he graduated as a lawyer. A few days ago we visited Thessaloniki. He was adamant that we not stay in hotels, he demanded that we stay at his house, he offered us his bed and slept on a single sofa".
According to information, Kyprianos went to Andros for three days with his fiancee where they blessed the wreaths in Agia Marina after they had a planned wedding next September.
