I'm sure many of you have met and talked with Kolu, Zach's girl friend and future wife. I'm sure most of you know, some may not, but Kolu passed last Friday evening due to some medical complications. Zach is doing well, but I think he's in a tough place right now dealing with her loss. Please keep Zach and Kolu's family in your thoughts and prayers. She will be missed....

Holy cow. I am sickened to hear this. :| I never met her, but the way he talked about her at HPDE at CMP a month or so ago told the story of a man in love. So very sad. RIP Kolu. - AB

You always knew when Kolu was at an event because of her contagious laughter, whether it was to run in STR or to shoot photos.

Such an awesome person.

I didn't know her long but had several conversations at few of the Autocrosses and she was certainly something special. She even had recommended a wing place in Durham that my wife and I turned out to love.

I was incredibly saddened to hear about her passing, she will certainly be missed by many.

Money can't buy happiness, but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than a Kia.

My deepest condolences.

She was very welcoming and friendly during my first autocross back in March. This is very sad indeed.

I'll concur with all the good things folks have said about Kolu, and I am going to miss her. My sympathies to Zach and her son.

Truly heartbreaking news. In the few chances I had to talk with Kolu, I found a kind, warm, funny, and generous person. Obviously someone special.

As a nervous club newcomer She and Zach always made me feel welcome.

My heart and prayers go out to Zach and their friends and families. I can't imagine what they are going through. Just heartbreaking.
