Thomas Kornswiet- A life taken away too soon

My name is Elizabeth Hernandez, I am helping the family of a shooting victim during the tragic loss of our Beloved Tommy.Tommy was a son to me, I was a mother figure to him. With the help of, Julio Pizano Mendez who was a brother figure to our beloved Tommy, we are helping the family with raising donations to help cover funeral expenses. All donations will be going towards funeral and burial services for our Tommy.

Only July 19th, Thomas Kornswiet was shot and killed at Petit Park in Granada Hills. He was only 16 years old.

Tommy was the only child and son of Robert Kornswiet, who has now seemingly lost his entire world and purpose to live.

Robert is incredibly humbled and grateful by the outpouring of messages and support from not only Tommy's friends, but the community as a whole.

All of the love and support being sent towards Robert and Tommy has been a great help throughout this difficult time.

Tommy is known for having an immense love for his friends and those he loved. His heart was so big that he would give his shirt off his back, or his very last dollar, for another person. He always wanted to make sure those around him were happy and valued friendship and honor above all else.

He leaves behind his father who loves him eternally and his beautiful dog Shadow. Shadow also has the heart of Tommy, always happy and always wagging his tail, always there to support others and bring happiness to them.

People admire Tommy’s courage but it was his smile that leaves a hole in all of our hearts.

Any help towards the memorial expenses is tremendously appreciated by his family and friends.

As Tommy looks down at us from above and sees all of the love and support his smile continues to shine on the world.

Robert and the family want to say thank you for the kindness and support you’ve given to him and Tommy. We shall never forget it
