We are devastated to share, on behalf of their family, that our cosmic sibling, treasured collaborator, artist warrior, and beloved being, Láwû Makuriye’nte (Mango), has passed away in a car accident. Their sudden departure has left us in shock, reeling in waves of disbelief, crying from the deepest wells in our bodies, and howling to the earth and sky. This is an unbearable loss.

Láwû loved ferociously and without bounds. They created invisible mycelia, bonding us together, building systems of care, and holding space for so many. As an alchemist of sound, brutal performer, and curious child made of magic, Láwû wove a presence that will never fade. They are in The Everything now—in the fire, in the water, in the earth, dancing in the air.

Now, it is our turn to show up for them.

We are raising funds to support Láwû’s family in navigating this tragic moment. The financial burden of transportation, cremation, memorial costs, travel, legal paperwork, and other unexpected expenses is significant. We want to help ease this weight so that their family can focus on grieving and honoring Láwû without additional stress.

Láwû was loved by so many, and we know their impact rippled far beyond what we can even see. This is our opportunity to honor their legacy, hold their family in care, and come together as a community.

WE LOVE YOU, MANGO! You are here as long as your many names keep flaming through our mouths. WE LOVE YOU, LÁWÛ! You are here, vibrating through the piercing music you created. WE LOVE EACH OTHER because we LOVE YOU!

If you are able, please contribute and share this with others who knew and loved Láwû. Every bit of support helps.

With love and gratitude,

The Community Who Loves Láwû
