He built a reputation as a multi-talented lecturer who taught a wide range of subject areas and always received exceptional feedback from his students both for his knowledge and patience. Sergio also managed the Ulster Graduate Certificate and developed a tremendous relationship with the University through his transparent and collaborative approach to managing the programme. Those who worked with Sergio directly, knew him to be a fantastic and supportive colleague who will be greatly missed. Sergio died on Saturday 23rd, having battled a long-standing health issue for over a year. He was supported by, and leaves behind wife, Susan, and their two young children.

Sergio always came in with a smile on his face. Having known him from when he first started he was a much loved academic by students by always putting them first. I still remember him having both his boys around the same time as my two and he made the effort to visit us, our children became our favourite topic. It was a privilege to have worked along side someone so giving. You will be missed immensely.

Sergio was such a strong person through and through, from character, personality, presence, fiercely loyal and deeply entrenched natural instinct to care for one another, particularly his family. So, if we are looking for positives to come out of something this painful, it is that new friendships will be formed and cemented for life…and Sergio would just love that. What I will remember always is his steely determination to succeed in whatever he set his mind to do. Nothing was more important to Sergio than those close to him. He always spoke to me about his beautiful family and how he cannot wait to go home and spend time with them. Whenever I visited him in the hospital, Sergio always told me his plans to write a book about his experience and to further his education. Whenever I tried to encourage him, he ended up encouraging me to be grateful of what life has to offer and reminded me how lucky I am to have the strength to go to work and earn a living. He later shared with me a conversation he had with one of the nurses who was going through a hard time, and how he used his experience to encourage the nurse. I am very lucky to have known Sergio and as much as Sergio will be missed by us all, Sergio will remain with us all, every day, as long as we can remember. I love and miss you buddy, past, present and future. Sleep well!

I met Sergio in January 2013 and back then our office was called the dungeon but in there was a smart smiling but reserved guy...Sergio. He was a kind and patient man, who always had time for students and colleagues. He always took time to remember things that showed he cared and listened...from asking me about my mum's wellbeing to what food parcels my parents had left me for the week. For me Sergio was a man that believed failure only existed if you didn't try...he always put his best foot forward and encouraged the same from others. R.I.P Sergio & keep smiling down on us all :-) My condolences to Susan and the children.

I remember thinking when I first met Sergio how effortlessly smartly dressed he was and that he'd be my new 'go to guy' for sartorial tips when my suit was already clearly past its sell by date by comparison. Although I didn't get the chance to get to know Sergio well as I only joined in 2017, every interaction I had with Sergio was upbeat and he had a wonderful way of finding something positive from everything he was involved with, it was always pleasure talking to him. He clearly genuinely cared about every student he had come into contact with and always had lovely things to say about them whenever I asked. This is how I will always fondly remember him.

Ah Sergio ... so many happy memories for so many people whose lives he touched. The top three for me will be: 1) The snazziest dresser at QAHE (apologies to close second Shaun Bisheswar). 2) The smoothest dancer (no close seconds). 3) Owner of the best chuckle. All of those, plus the fact that he owes me £5 for a bet we had in 2014. Sergio, I'll be claiming that in the next life ...

Sergio will be greatly missed. I remember travelling to London regularly and he would always be so friendly and kind to me. He always had time for colleagues and was a true gentleman. My sincere condolences to his wife and children.

As a librarian at the Birmingham QAHE campus, I didn't work in direct contact with Sergio but I well remember him. Althought few, my memories of him are fond. Whenever our paths would cross, often just passing in a corridor, he would always smile and say hello. What a personable guy! I am so sorry to hear of his passing, it is a great loss to all who knew him. My thoughts are with his family.
