This Wednesday, first thing in the morning, we learned the news of the sad loss of Fernando Fernández Tapias. The Galician businessman died at the age of 84 this Wednesday, as confirmed by his great friend and journalist Carlos Herrera on his morning program on the COPE network.
Fernández Tapias was one of the most famous faces in Spanish high society and the business world. But he also managed to attract popular interest due to his media relations, which put him at the forefront of the gossip press for several years. In addition, he also managed to gain a place in the current Real Madrid board, where he held the position of first vice president of the club.
At the moment the causes of death are unknown, but it has emerged that the businessman had had coronary problems for years and his health condition weakened after the pandemic. Despite all these health problems, the death of Fernández Tapias took everyone around him and a large part of the Spanish population by surprise.
For this reason, numerous well-known faces on the current scene wanted to come to the Madrid La Paz funeral home this Wednesday to say goodbye to the Galician businessman and to show their condolences and all their support to his widow, Nuria González, and his children. Precisely the model and her two children, Iván and Alma, were the first to arrive at the funeral home located in the municipality of Tres Cantos, where the funeral chapel has been installed.
One of the famous faces who wanted to come to the place to say goodbye to his teammate and great friend was Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid. Another of the most emblematic faces of Real Madrid, and the club's current director of institutional relations, Emilio Butragueño, also wanted to go to the funeral home to say goodbye to the businessman.
The presenter Terelu Campos returned to the Madrid funeral home, where she had to say goodbye to her mother, the journalist María Teresa Campos, at the beginning of September. But the Mañaneros collaborator did not come alone. She did it with her daughter Alejandra Rubio.
Another of the television faces who wanted to support the family of the Galician businessman was Nuria Roca. The El Hormiguero collaborator arrived with her middle son, Pau, and without her husband, the writer Juan del Val.
Raúl Prieto, Nieves Herrero, José María García, Alberto Ruiz Gallardón and Jesús Vázquez were other personalities who wanted to say goodbye to Fernando Fernández Tapias.
