Remembering Kosse Laureano-Zuraitis

It is with a heavy heart, we announce the sudden and very unexpected passing of our cousin, Kosse Laureano-Zuraitis. Kosse was a son, brother, cousin, friend, nephew, and so much more. We are all devastated by this tragic loss. At just 17 years old, he was taken from us far too soon and we are heartbroken.

Kosse split his time with family between NYC and CT. He was an avid skateboarder and enjoyed going to skate parks in the city to meet up with his friends. He had a passion for photography and was very talented. He went to Millennium High School in Manhattan and was about to begin his senior year. Kosse leaves behind an amazing group of friends and family that cared for him deeply. He had a huge heart and would do anything for anyone. He was an incredibly bright and talented young man who will be missed by so many. 

We’ve received an overwhelming outreach from friends and family asking how they can help Kosse’s family after his passing so we (Kosse’s cousins) have come together to create this page for anyone who would like to offer financial support during this difficult time. 

We want to give Kosse the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes. 100% of donations will be used for Kosse's funeral expenses and memorial arrangements. 

We ask you to share your words of support and memories that you had with Kosse to keep his memory alive. Our family cannot thank you all enough for your support, kind words and donations as we continue to grieve the loss of our beloved Kosse. 

With love and appreciation, 

Sarah Faconti, Shane Quadrato, and all 11 of Kosse’s paternal cousins.

*Funeral services/arrangements will be announced shortly.*
