silent marchThe young man who was found dead on Thursday in a forest plot near the Kollenberg in Sittard, is 19-year-old Xavier Durlinger, son of shoe magnate Roger Durlinger. Friends and acquaintances will hold a silent tour in Sittard on Wednesday to remember Xavier. “He had a very big heart.”
The police are now convinced that Xavier was killed as a result of a crime. On Thursday, the police continued to fight over the suspicious death of the man, but yesterday an investigation revealed that an unknown person is probably responsible for his death.
Because the family has decided to bury Xavier privately, friends organize a silent march to pay their last respects to their friend. “Xavier was a caring person. With a very big heart. He was always there for everyone,” said the organizer of the silent march, Tunezi Samir, to this site.
Samir met Xavier about five years ago through a mutual friend. ,,We clicked right away, we got along well. Since then, a brotherhood has developed.” The friendship between the two was so close that they saw each other as brothers, says Samir. “He was my bonus brother. A true, loyal friend. That is why I want to organize this silent journey for him as a tribute to Xavier and to our friendship.”
