Toluwani Idowu aka Tom, entered this world among an exclusive club of babies who would share a birthday with Jesus, being born on Christmas day 1997. Tom was a young man of many passions, and played several sports during the years. He was involved in track and field at Florida State University.
But brewing silently underneath his athleticism and his many other activities was a significant heart condition! Nothing in his exterior would have given it away; he had the perfect build of an athlete and no one would have imagined he was stoppable. On April 29, 2020, at the age of 22, Tom was suddenly stopped in his tracks, succumbing to a sudden cardiac arrest while on a run down Chapel Drive in Tallahassee. The cause of death was hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. As anyone can imagine, our beloved Tom is irreplaceable and terribly missed by his family and friends.
