Tombol

The family and friends of Tombol,

I met Tombol through mutual friends about three years ago. Three of the most memorable weeks of my life were spent with him enjoying the beaches and festivities of Brazil. We traveled through Rio with a carefree attitude, taking in the times and adventures. For the duration of the trip, we were able to experience the beauty of life. We stayed with about 12 people in a three bedroom aprtment. Instead of complaining, Tombol slept outside in a hammock every single night, and left more space for everyone else. That was the kind of person that he was. Although his life was ended by a savage act of violence, nothing can take away the times that people shared with him or the legacy that he leaves us with.
