I would just like to say I was very sad to hear of Tomo's passing. I remember him playing basketball and always having so much positive energy. Tomo was someone who was truly unforgettable. He will be missed greatly.

I still cannot figure out what happened, I just don't understand it.

Tomo will be missed. It still seems almost unreal that he's gone.

The thing is, none of his friends including me, know about the cause of his death. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Please respect the privacy of the Kudo family; refrain from treating the death of a human being as a mere curiosity.

Geez, I think it's okay to READ on a forum about an 18 year old dying and wonder what happened. It's not exactly common. If the family wanted complete privacy the article should not have been written in the paper and / or posted online in the first place!

Yeah especially because he was one of my good friends, I at least want to know what happened......

RIP Tomo you were a good friend. We will all miss you.

Our condolences to the Kudo family and especially to Taka, Tomo's brother. This is a real tragedy and our hearts are heavy with this sad news. Rest in peace, Tomo.

R.I.P., poor Tomo ... you are in a better place ... and hopefully, in the loving arms of your Heavenly Father.

I'm sorry to hear of Tomo's passing. I remember him as being somewhat shy around adults, but always had a group of friends around him. You could see he loved playing basketball and was always around the Harvest Park Gym. Unfortunately he never got the chance to develop his talents at the High School level and I know that was a disappointment for him. As a CYO coach I always tried to reach out to him and encourage him to work on his game. He was always respectful and willing to listen. I wished I could of done more. What a tragedy to see a life lost at such a young age. May the Lord's comfort and blessings be on him and his family.

Hello,

I remember you Tomo on the Harvest Park 8th Grade basketball team. You were taller and more skilled than most. You had an excellent jump shot for an 8th grader.

It's tragic that you are gone.

With respect.

Posted by Mike Lady, a resident of the Stoneridge Park neighborhood, on Oct 17, 2012 at 11:47 pm

Hey Tomo, I'm still thinking about the times we trained together and how you were always so positive that I would go "D1" and play football somewhere. Thanks for believing in me, man. You were right, I'm going to go "D1", but in things other than football. I'm praying for you and your family.
