Knokke-Heist (Eurotoday): Maxim Trio, manager of Collins Club in Knokke-Heist, was found dead under suspicious circumstances. Friends mourned his loss with a beach memorial, highlighting his impact on the community.

The death of a popular man from Knokke-Heist has left the community in shock. He was well-known for his beach bar, a favorite spot for locals and tourists during the summer.

His death has a strong impact on the beachside community.

How did Maxim Trio’s legacy as a beach bar owner impact his community? 

Maxim Trio was the manager of Collins Club, a popular beach bar. He started the bar in 2018 after his father suggested he take it over. Maxim updated the name and decor, inspired by Miami Beach. He dreamed of being a cyclist but followed his parents’ path in the beach business. He also opened a new place called ‘Collins Club, the Garden, and another store in Marbella, offering music, cocktails, and tapas.

Friends gathered on the beach to remember Maxim Trio. They paid tribute by writing his name in large letters on the sand. Flowers were placed around the name, turning the area into a makeshift memorial. It has been said that the scene, with the sound of the waves and the vast sea, symbolized their shared sadness and celebration of his life, allowing them to honor his memory.

“It’s so unfair,” said the friends who came to remember him. “We want to support his parents and brother, and hope they find out what happened soon.” The police are looking into his death, which seems suspicious, and an autopsy will give more details.

    Ah, the tragic tale of Maxim Trio—a beach bar owner who could only dream of cycling through life but ended up taking a one-way trip to Panama; clearly, it takes more than a mojito and a sprinkle of charm to keep a beach community afloat these days!

    Well, it seems Maxim Trio’s attempt at being the next beach bar mogul in Knokke-Heist has taken a rather permanent holiday in Panama—talk about a plot twist even the most dramatic soap opera writers would find hard to believe, eh?

  3. Ah, poor Maxim Trio, who thought he could trade the chilly winds of Knokke-Heist for the sunny allure of Panama—turns out the only thing more suspicious than his beach bar’s Miami-inspired decor was his untimely demise; a real reminder that life, much like a poorly mixed cocktail, doesn’t always go down smoothly, eh?

    Ah, the Collins Club owner found in Panama – a real beach bum… or is that just a new way to start an early retirement? 🌊🏖️ Seems like he took “going out with a bang” a tad too literally, eh? 🤷‍♂️

    Well, isn’t that just peachy? You run a beach bar, and when life throws you a curveball, it involves dodgy circumstances in Panama – sounds like a plot twist from a bad holiday flick! 🌴🍹 But hey, at least his beach memorial had better decor than his life choices. 🏖️
