Sako... I thought about you as I am sitting at the computer and looking out of the window. A car just drove by with the music playing. I thought of you. I remember I would look out the window to see if it was you, my son or someone else. I made my trip to Wow Cow. Eliza... working hard.
Happy Belated Birthday! Rest peacefully.

I didn't know Sako personally, but I knew people who did. What I heard about him was amazing, and I just wanted to send my condolences now. My apologies for not sending anything sooner, I'm just now finding this. Rest in peace, Sako...

Sako, I miss you and I wish there was a way put back the clock and save you. It's been a month and I still have such a hard time thinking about how you're gone and I hope that Kirk is there to show you the way and take care of you. Don't let Uncle Artin and Uncle Hagop get on your case too much. I wish we could have done more skateboarding together and I had looked forward to showinging you skydiving and sailing. We'll try to watch out for Tamar now. I'll light candles for you and think about you often for the rest of my life.
Bye dude,
Victor

I would like to send my condolences to the Nazarian family. I had the pleasure of coaching Sako and Tamar at Fit n' Fun about 8 years ago and remember him as a funny, happy kid and a loving brother. Rest in peace...

Sako is a hero,end of story. He was fun, loving and hilarious. I'm going to miss seeing you in the village blasting your two 15' subs. It won't be the same, but just know we all miss you so much and we will NEVER forget you. You will forever and always be in our hearts. Rest in Peace.

I was so sorry to hear about Sarko's death.....when I met him he was an adorable two year old with his curly black hair and gorgeous smile. He grew into a handsome young man.....my sincere condolences to Hermine, Sarkis and their family

My thoughts and prayer are with the family of Sako. My grandaughter Amanda Zocchi was a coworker and a friend. I have no words to express the grief a parent feels, just know I know and weep also
