You were always the first to walk the Suddens first in the mood, with fun, with pride. You had no limits. That’s why the earth shook when you stepped on it. There was no opponent to fear. You made your own choice to mess with grace.
You are not lost my Taso, you are where you belong, in another dimension. You will always be in our hearts!!!”says the post of his team, Orion Chania, via his official Facebook account.
