In Loving Memory of Hideo Kotani

Prayer Vigil at 8:30 pm: In-person and On Zoom

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Our beloved brother Hideo Kotani passed away on September 3, 2024, at 4:00 pm. He was 58 years old and had been courageously battling stomach cancer throughout the past year. Despite numerous medical treatments and the unwavering efforts of his family, his condition took a turn for the worse recently.

Mr. Kotani passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by his loving family. He was a devoted father to Yoshia, Hanna, Naomi, and Maika, and a loving husband to Mitsuyo Kotani. Known for his quiet demeanor and kind nature, Mr. Kotani was a steadfast pillar of his family.
