Dear Wattpad & friend of Thijs,
I would just like to say and fully break out the news of the passing of one of the most humble, honorable, & respectable people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, Thijs Mattius Mathijsen Giorgio Moroder. Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands on Christmas Day, 1998, he would move to Milan, Italy before settling in Leipzig, Germany on 2003 with his mother, father, and twin sister, Shara Tessa Anna Moroder. During his 6 years of living in Germany, he and his sister would be scouted as children by SSV Markranstadt (now known as RB Leipzig) for their youth academy, displaying superb technical skills playing football on the streets of Leipzig. In 2009, they would move to the United States but despite being immigrants, they quickly adapted to their new home. Immediately after coming to America and settling in NY, they would ignore club football, decline offers from New York Red Bulls, & settle for high school soccer. In the 1 year they spent in New York, they became the most successful high school athletes in the city at the tender age of 13, representing a unisex middle school team to have a combined total of 94 goals and 23 assists together (to put that into perspective, during the La Liga 15/16 season, the FC Barcelona partnership of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, & Neymar Jr. scored a combined total of 90 goals and provided a total of 44 assists. A duo VS a trio. let that sink in). Back on track, after only living in New York for less than a year, they would move to Texas in 2010. During this time, they would spend playing soccer for school and I as other family members would meet the duo. Full of life and hope that was contagious and impossible to hate. They had a kindness to them and would display this by on one occasion ending bullying and unify a middle school team that was dealing with morale issues. They would bring this to high school, where Shara and Thijs would shine but then Thijs' life would change
