Our family sends our deepest sympathy to Tony Takazato’s family and friends. We had the privilege of meeting Tony when he participated in an online gaming site and attended tournaments with our son. He was extremely bright, courteous and friendly. His passing at a young age and the devastating manner of his death are heart wrenching. May those responsible for this horrendous act be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Tony is at peace now and no one can ever hurt him again. “If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I’d walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.”
