Obituary

Later that night I went to Logan’s parents house to try to get Logan’s obituary written. That was a terrible idea, we were all too tired and nothing we were writing sounded good. The obituary out of all the arrangements for the funeral for me was the hardest and stressed me out the most. It was just so important, how do you write someone’s whole life story and what they mean to you in one little paragraph? We decided that it was best that we go home and sleep on it and start fresh in the morning.  When we woke up my sweet aunt Lori came over and brought some examples of other obituaries to give me and idea of where to go from. Within an hour we were able to get it all written out and I was so relieved and happy with how it turned out.

Love you boys!

Chad was born on September 15, 1987 in Salt Lake City, Utah to Mike & Karen Tohinaka.

Chad is survived by his parents, Mike & Karen, sister, Kelsi, grandmothers Sachiko Tohinaka and Mitsue Sugimoto and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. We want to thank all the family, friends and members of the community for their generosity and outpouring of love and support for our son Chad and "our other son", Logan. Most of all, a special thank you to everyone involved in the search and rescue operation that night for finding our boys and bringing them home.
