From Rome support Rome Torti Page
"Rome Torti passed away this morning, with his wife Rachels arms wrapped around him and the rain coming down.
He was peaceful, he was at home and he knew he was loved.
For all of us who loved Rome, it may not have been forever, but it was our forever.
For Rachel, Rome and Ryder, it may not have been a perfect love story, but it was their love story.
Thank you all for sharing in Rome's wonderful, fun, happy, enormous life.
When he needed you, you rallied.
When he needed space, you respected that.
When he needed a beer, you were more than happy to join in.
Rome attracted friends and supporters for a reason ? his positivity and strength was inspirational and a force that all of us simply wanted to be around. He was a happy warrior who lived what he loved.
His family and friends thank you so much for all for your unending support.
Details of a Celebration of Rome will follow soon.
PS: We all know Rome loved a party. Today would have been his close friend Shane Cross's birthday. We have a feeling the two of them are having a skate somewhere up there to celebrate

damn another death in the Australian skate scene. Did he have a pre-existing condition? How ever he went it's somewhat nice he was with his loved one. Ride in Peace!

Brain tumor

he's battled a brain tumour for the last 5-6 years. love goes out to his family. There have been a few opportunities to donate money for therapy to get Rome surgery and what not and I would always go to donate and forget or get sidetracked. I'm really bummed that I never helped out when given the opportunity
