Former banker who loved cycling, victim of accident on Gela-Scoglitti: “A cycling enthusiast”

Explain me briefly the following article:

A seventy-year-old retired bank employee, and lifelong cycling enthusiast, Raffaele Mazza, known as the “gentleman of the two wheels” and a “companion of a thousand adventures” by his friends, tragically lost his life in a road accident on the Gela-Scoglitti road on the morning of June 4th. Mazza and his friend were hit by a van, with Mazza succumbing to his injuries while his friend was airlifted to a hospital in serious condition. Those who rode with them attest to their experienced and cautious cycling habits, raising questions about the cause of the accident. The news of Mazza’s death has deeply affected his friends and those who have shared in his cycling journeys around Sicily.

The community of Mazzarrone is in shock, with parish activities being suspended in light of the tragic incident. Expressions of grief and disbelief are being shared on social media, with friends remembering Mazza as a wonderful man who will be dearly missed. The parish council has postponed the Feast of the Sacred Heart as a show of solidarity and support for the Mazza family during this difficult time.
