Celebrating Tao's Spirit and Kindness

There are some people who leave an unmistakable imprint on everyone they meet — Tao was one of them. He didn’t just walk into a room; he brought light with him. Whether it was through a quiet word of encouragement, a big laugh at just the right moment, or the way he always remembered the little things that mattered, Tao made the world feel more connected.

Tao had a rare gift: he made people feel seen. He showed up — not just physically, but emotionally. When you needed support, Tao was always there. When you achieved something, he celebrated you like it was his own win. He believed in people, even when they didn’t believe in themselves.

Now, in the wake of his passing, we find ourselves trying to honor a man who gave so much without ever asking for anything in return. We are organizing a memorial worthy of the kindness, brilliance, and spirit Tao shared so freely.

This fundraiser is more than just covering costs. It’s a way for all of us — friends, colleagues, and all who loved him to say thank you, to say we remember, to say his life mattered, and it always will.

Every contribution helps us create a space to reflect, grieve, and celebrate. If Tao touched your life in any way, we invite you to help us honor his legacy.

Remembering Tao means keeping his light alive — and sharing it, just as he always did.

These funds will be given to Tao's family for his medical expenses.
