His death deeply affected the nation, prompting a large public farewell at the Microestadio Josรฉ Marรญa Gatica in Villa Dominico.

The family specifically thanked fans for their unwavering support, love, and respect, which made Solari's farewell an "immense pride and emotion." They also acknowledged political figures and organizations, including Mรกximo Kirchner, Facu Tignanelli, Joaco and Wado de Pedro, and Governor Axel Kicillof, for their roles in organizing the farewell, noting "General Production of the Farewell/La Cรกmpora."
Let's honor him by taking care of our mood, hugging each other, and not giving up, because rebellion is not renounced. We love you.
