In Santa Ana and specifically in the IVU neighborhood, he lived Fidel Antonio Magaña Patriarch of an honorable family, whose understanding was a constant, respect for others a reference and friendship one of his most precious treasures.
Animary and enthusiastic character who liked to remember his adventures in the various facets that surprised in his being, from athlete, leader, referee, teacher of Physical Education, coach until they lead to his role as a journalist and writer, when he gave him his life and sport magazine that came to light more than half a century and that marked the best times of the FAS tigrillos.
It was in July 1948 when he gave him the first issue of that publication in which he was in charge of everything, from collecting the information, writing, editing, and then taking it to the printing press and then distributing it.
In other words he had to play and say the Mass, but also ask for alms. For a long time Fantony, who was her pseudonym, took her among the journalistic work, her work as a physical education teacher as well as soccer coach.
On Sundays, he got fully into arbitration, teaching justice in the Emerald rectangle, being contemporary of the “Fakir” Ricardo Méndez, of the “brother” Ramón Marmol Sagstume, his countryman Rito Martínez, Víctor Manuel “Chorizo” Guevara, Ramón Azmitia.
Then he was one of the founders of the Soccer Association of El Salvador, and in that distant 1965 he seconded the initiative of men such as Hernán Carrasco, Conrado Miranda, Milo Guardado, Isaías Choto, Marcelo Estrada to collect the mentors of football.
Since that time full of multiple avatars he ran so much water under his bridges and remained the same friendly and talkative character with an profusion of proverbial sentences of his own harvest, which in addition to teaching, they loved them.
But anyone who did not know him should have missed him so much constancy and delivery because it was one of those men who follow the same line of behavior during their existence, in good and bad.
But not everything was pink because he also knew about the injustices and the misunderstanding he faced with integrity, without decomposing and thus came out, erect with the dignity of a mast, despite the storms.
He had reached that state of consciousness that men achieve, in which a hug comforts them more than a portfolio with tickets; A smile makes their soul happy, a friend enlivens their lives and if you have health, enough and have plenty of understanding that they are essentially fortunate.
This is the difference we can find in them, from the exciting spring of their most intense years, to the golden fall where peace and meekness that has been sought in the wandering steps are achieved.
But Fantony one day came the limitation, the loss of cognitive functioning: think, remember and reason, to such an extent that he interfered with his activities. He was a teacher who preached with the example, a all -hearted Santaneco who found in sports the best way to fraternize and reap friends.
