In memory of Ondrej Kral
Hey nomadlife family, today we received a very sad news here in the MC office. One of ex interns from InBev Ondrej died in a car accident.
Ondrej was a very nice guy and he really gave a lot of passion for AIESEC. He was in the MC in Czech Republic and he joined a lot of the AIESEC actitivies here in Belgium. You can visit his weblog here
Here is a copy of his obituary published in InBev
In Memoriam Ondrej Kral
We regret to inform you that yesterday, former AIESEC trainee Ondrej Kral lost his life in an accident in his home country, the Czech Republic. Ondrej was 26 years old.
During the past 12 months, Ondrej worked at the Global Headquarters as World Class Commercial Program Coordinator.
Only a few weeks ago, he moved back home to embark on a new challenge with Staropramen Breweries. We will always remember his eagerness to learn, his talent for friendship and his
easygoing sense of humor which made him a valuable team member. He will be deeply missed by many.
We extend our condolences and deep sympathy to his family, friends and colleagues around the world during this difficult time.
Steven Scheers
People Director Global Headquarters
Update: His funeral is today. This post was originally made on Aug 2, 2006.

I was so happy that I would have the best roommate ever in Prague starting 10 days from now.
Looks like I'll have to just be grateful for all the cool moments we shared in Belgium.
Thanks Ondra, I will miss you a lot.

One of the all-round best guys I have ever met. He spread nothing but love, happiness and good feelings wherever he was. Peace.
Life is so precious, and we forget sometimes how fleeting and temporary it can be....

Yesterday, my friend told me the news. I try to understand.
Ondraj, you were an amazing guy here for the trainee community in Brussels, so full of energy.
We will miss you!

These are the moments that really put everything into perspective.
We should take this time to celebrate the life of an amazing individual.
My heart extends out to his family.

You dread these postings ... I haven't met you but you represent what so many of us value in this world. Warmth, happiness, connection and love. Your stories have traveled far and your life was taken too soon.
Rest in peace.

A note written by friends in Belgium:
The great overwhelmig difference between adults and kids is the fact, that most of the adults can�t be amazed by the simple beauties of life. Just a few people manage to grow up in years but keep a soul of an eternal kid, admiring world with shining eyes. Ondra was for sure somebody who was blessed by this gift. Therefore he will stay forever in our hearts and minds as someone, who truly knew how to squeeze every drop of life and tried to teach us this art. Thank you Ondra

I still think I'm going to see him in a future AIESEC-related event. Or drinks at Mezzo. And he will give me his million-dollar surprise look. I call it the "No, are you kidding" look.
Christophe and I were ver shocked by the news. He said "I feel he's gonna send an e-mail saying, 'guys, be serious, I'm ok!!!'"
Damn it, he was my age...sometimes life does't make any sense...we'll miss you Ondra!
11:52 AM
I feel exactly the very same way......
I still can hear him calling me Maruska, with that big smile coming from someone with an even bigger heart!
12:03 PM
I still see him in the MC house kitchen sitting next to the window drinking beer.
12:25 PM
Reading this and his blog makes me realise how valuable life is. One day you can still be alive and the next...who knows...
I don't know Ondra personally, but I do feel like I just lost one of my good friends.
