Tragic Death of Jose Fernandez in the middle of Maria Arias’s pregnancy
September 25 morning was not that usual. This was the day when Jose died in a tragic boating accident when his high-speed 32-ft. power boat struck a rocky jetty off Miami Beach. Jose Fernandez including a Cuban-American ballplayer and the two passengers died in the crash.
After the incident, Arias immediately catches up at a funeral in memory of her boyfriend Jose. She also had to catch up with an official investigation, and persistent media, all while dealing with her pregnancy.
Regarding the incident, she says:
“It felt very robotic. All I wanted to do was lock myself in our room and be alone.”
David Samson, President of the Miami Marlins, tells PEOPLE:
“The tragic death of Jose Fernandez has left a hole in all of our hearts that matches the larger than life personality that embodied Jose. The level of emotion that permeated not just Miami, but the entire baseball community, was and is difficult to fathom. He was one of those unique men who is missed both on and off the playing field. His legacy will be the freedom he so cherished in America and giving back to the community.”
Birth of the daughter of Jose and Maria
Just one week before the tragic death of Jose, they had discovered that they were expecting a baby girl. They both revealed the best saying that it was the best moment of their life. Arias says that Fernandez had also picked her name, Penelope, after a Spanish song.
“He loved her from the moment she was conceived. Everyone knew how excited he was to be a dad, he made sure of it.”
Following the accident, it is quite obvious that Arias was disturbed by all the incidents. But she tried to focus on the impending birth of her daughter. She finally gave birth to an adorable baby girl on February 24th and named the baby Penelope Jo Fernandez as the wish of her late boyfriend.
“It was so emotional — I had Maritza holding one leg and my mom holding the other. Everyone was crying,”
Furthermore, she said:
“I kept a piece of his clothing since he passed that I sleep with every night, and I took it with me. I had it around my neck the whole time. So, when they put her on top of me it was kind of like both of us being present,”
Moreover talking about the baby Penelope, who has her father’s light brown hair and her grandmother’s blue eyes, she says:
“You have days that you look at her and you feel happiness and gratitude. And then there are other days where you feel afraid and you feel lonely and you feel the weight of his absence again. He makes such an impact in your life, that his absence just feels so heavy.”
“Penelope’s birth will not relieve me from my reminiscing about my son. I think about him every second. He is always in my mind, very much alive. Penelope will be a reflection of what he means to us. To be able to see her grow will make every moment of his childhood come alive. To be able to tell her everything and all the stories about her daddy since he was born it will be a memorable experience I am looking forward to.”
Most importantly, Arias remains devoted to telling Penelope all about her father.
“I will forever talk about him, never let his memory die, always keep him alive, no matter how much that hurts me. Because she deserves that from me; and from all of us. And so does he, He was a beautiful person, we who truly knew him talk about him that way and value him that way, and we’ll continue to do that.”
