A relative of the young man emphasized that his dream was to serve in the army. In Brazil, he worked as a sushi chef in an oriental restaurant in the city.
“One day you said you were going to join the army, but I never imagined it would be like this to receive this news, rest in peace, strength to our family,” he said.
Another acquaintance of Kauan noted the honor of the young man’s participation in the fight. “Soldiers never die, they just go on missions beyond our reach. The team will never be the same,” he said.
