With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Makoto Sawai (Fredericton, New Brunswick), who passed away on October 23, 2024 at the age of 87. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid Makoto farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Makoto is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
