“As long as you are spreading love you are doing the right thing”.
Laszlo Kehoe has and will always embody what it means to be a free spirit. His wisdom finds itself far beyond his years as he preaches the importance of love, peace, and positive energy to all of those he meets.
Laszlo was born in Akron, Ohio on September 6th, 2005 and passed away November 19th, 2019 in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. From the beginning, he has been a special gift whom none of us could ever completely understand - except himself. Everything Laszlo did was with such grace as he created music, danced, laughed, sang, and spoke all the while being unapologetically true to himself.
Laszlo now shares his universal energy with his parents Scott Kehoe, Juliana Szalontai and Allan Cooper.
His light moves with that of his beloved Aunt Beth and Grandpa Laszlo Szalontai. His flow of positive vibrations surrounds his siblings Morrison Szalontai Cooper, Violet Kehoe, Kamyia Kehoe, Justin Rogers-Cooper and Alyssa Rogers-Cooper in addition to his grandparents, Kathleen Monegan and Phyllis Kehoe, his loving
cousins, his nieces and nephews, and his aunts and uncles. No matter where Lasz went he made friends and loved them all dearly. He was the most genuine, kind, and caring young man and never failed to show it to those he met. The dude uplifted us everyday with his never failing ability to make us laugh in the most creative ways. Today we thank him for everything he has taught us in his short time. Thank you Laszlo for truly being out of this world in the past, now and always, we appreciate you for teaching us how to accept and love everyone and all unconditionally. We love you and you are forever in our hearts. Stay wild and free, child. See you later, Alligator.
