Loading ...R.I.P. Komo Low

Just got the news that local promoter Komo Low has died.
It’s been a couple of years since he last hosted a party; according to this column I wrote last year, Low pulled out of the W Honolulu in 2005.
I’m told he moved to the mainland shortly thereafter, returning to Oahu a year ago. He kept a relatively low profile until his death last weekend, since it appears not many people in the club scene were even aware he was back in town.
According to a post on his MySpace page and confirmed by another promoter, funeral services will be held at 11:30 a.m. March 28 at Mililani Mortuary-Waipio, Mauka Chapel. Visitation starts at 9:30 a.m. and lunch will be served afterward.
Rest in peace, Komo. We’ll miss you.
my heart goes out to his girlfriend and family. this is really difficult. we will never forget you komo.
KOMO! YOU ROCK. YOU ARE GOING TO ALWAYS BRING A SMILE TO MY FACE. I LOVE YOU.
Brother Komo, my very dear friend,
brought so much joy on the weekend.
Bringing people together and making them laugh,
he was truly a star to his guests and his staff.
We’ll miss you, Komo. I will always remember
the smile on your face every year in September,
when I would return to play at your club,
never missing a night without sending a sub.
Well, there’s no substitute for my friend Komo Low,
but it’s my guess you’re in heaven, putting together a show.
Blessings to all your friends and family.
We’ll always love and remember you!
May you rest In peace.
What happened? Was he sick? Does anyone know?
THOMAS “KOMO” LOW, a dear friend to me, is a man with a big, beautiful heart. I have known him for nearly 20 years and thru those years he has always been a loyal friend to me, with his unconditional love. I have so many great memories with KOMO and all his MANY friends. I am grateful for having KOMO in my life. He’s always been the life of the parties, with his charming smiles and laughter (remember his laugh? ;0) ), bringing people together. He did exactly what he wanted to do. He loved music. He loved dancing. He loved people. He loved to entertain. And he got paid doing what he loved. And when KOMO loves something, he loves it with a passion. He’s always been about love, peace, and harmony.
His passing deeply saddens us all. He was young and vibrant, and it’s most tragic ANYTIME a parent loses their child. To his family, I am so sorry for your loss. I can only hope you can take a little comfort knowing KOMO TOUCHED SO MANY LIVES, AND EVEN MORE LOVE HIM FOR THAT.
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HIS LIFE, AND BE THANKFUL HE SHARED A PART OF IT WITH ME. I LOVE YOU KOMO. MAY YOU BE AT PEACE.
Komo? What happend? How?
I dont feel bad for someone who took his own life. I do feel for the family. But not for someone like him who had more than he could handle I guess..
TO “Not so sad” - why, at this time would you be so cruel as to say a horrible thing about not feeling bad? Whether or not Komo’s death was deliberate or not - you have no right to post such an ugly remark. Yes you have a right to your opinion, but not at the expense of someone else’s heart ache. Auwe, shame on you for being so hateful.
R.I.P Komo - may god bless you and your loved one’s. Keep dancing, smiling and laughing. You will be missed.
Aloha Komo. I’m finding it difficult to come to terms with your untimely death. Yet, I know there is a special place in Heaven for your kind and gentle soul.
Komo, I miss you bro, goodtimes… see you soon.
