Obituary of Ivan Dario Cardona

Ivan Cardona, 41, most lively man in the room, passed away unexpectedly on February 1, 2021. Born July 8, 1979 in Queens, New York, Ivan grew up to be a man most respected on and off the soccer field. As a proud Florida state official referee, parents and players looked up to Ivan and attributed much of their respect for the game to Ivan. Ivan had no enemies, he had a vivacious personality and always made people around him laugh, there was no room too big or too small for him to fill with his exuberant laugh and way of making you feel at home. Ivan is survived by his parents, Cesar and Clara Cardona and devoted wife Jackie Cardona. Loving father of Cheyanne, Aedriun, Alejandro and Kaitlyn and Brother of Monica and Marcela Cardona. Everyone who remembers Ivan is asked to celebrate and remember him in their own way, and raising a glass in memory of him would be how Ivan would’ve wanted it. Because the show goes on!
