Perdemos um grande amigo e um grande companheiro de viagem.
O mundo da animação, para o qual o Diogo deu tanto de si, f**a agora mais pobre.
Resta-nos manter acesa a dedicação e paixão que o Diogo fervorosamente teve pelo seu trabalho, pela vida, pelos amigos e família.
Guardaremos para sempre o sorriso, a sua doce resmunguice e o seu inabalável companheirismo.
Um abraço para todos na .em.lata , e um muito sentido à sua família de quem tanto falava e que sempre o orgulhou.

Até já Diogo.
