The infant son of the singer known as El Komander has died, prompting immediate reactions from colleagues in the regional Mexican music scene.
The death of José Eliseo Ríos Ávila was announced by the artist's team on October 30. The child was only a few months old at the time of his passing. The family stated that divine light would guide the boy toward eternal life.
Eduin Caz, the leader of Grupo Firme, spoke about the loss during an interview on the television show Sale el Sol. He described El Komander as a great friend and someone he deeply respects. Caz admitted that he struggled to find the right words to express his condolences.
"No, no, no tengo palabras, este: el señor sabe que lo admiro, lo respeto, es un gran amigo y pues mucha fuerza," Caz said. He emphasized his personal admiration for the late singer's father.
El Komander, whose real name is José Alfredo Ríos Meza, shared a short video from the funeral home where the wake was held. In the clip, he stood before the casket and posted the caption: "Dios te recoja, chaparrito. Te amamos mucho." He has not yet revealed the medical cause of the infant's death.
