    For those wondering, Mike Tokars unfortunately passed back in 2020 due to a pulmonary embolism at age 31. (a P.E is a blockage in the pulmonary artery which is what sends blood to your lungs, which about 100,000 people die of each year, and there are more than around 200,000 cases in the US each year alone)
    EDIT: I told myself I wouldn't clarify but the fact that people cannot read properly or realize that Mike was Ricky's younger brother is astounding. Fred Tokars was 67 when he died of natural causes. Mike died of a medical tragedy likely due to either injury or underlying health conditions and was sadly not able to be saved. To those who have realized that they mixed up the names and corrected themselves, thank you.
    Edit 2: To those saying that it was due to the covid vaccine, Mike died in April of 2020, the vaccine wasn't released until December. Stop it. This isn't about the vaccine.

I followed up on that and it was very unexpected (a pulmonary embolism). He was just 31. However he did impact everything in a remarkable way -- just one of those people, even through circumstance he would never have wanted, whose good impact was just magnified exponentially because of it. He was a giant -- like his mom, like his remaining brother, like his extended family. Just giants. Truly awesome, remarkable people.

The doctors told her that had she waited, she would have died.

    On Friday, April 3, 2020, the world unexpectedly lost Michael "Mike" Philip Tokars from Bradenton, Florida. Mike died in Newport Beach, California, of a pulmonary embolism. He was 31.
    Beloved by family and friends who nurtured and surrounded him and his older brother with love after their mother's 1992 murder, Mike was cherished his entire life for immeasurable reasons; his tenacious curiosity, compassionate heart, infectious sense of humor, kindred spirit, and remarkable zest for life.
    Mike was born April 20, 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia.
    When Mike was just 4 years old, he and his 6 year old brother, Rick, were tragically thrown into the public light when their mother, Sara Ambrusko Tokars, was brutally gunned down in front of them by a hit man hired by their father.
    All of Atlanta and much of the nation were heartbroken when they read of the two brave little boys who, after witnessing their mother's murder, ran through a dark field to a distant house and desperately begged the stunned homeowner to call for help for their mother.
    After the murder, the boys were taken in by their maternal grandparents, former Manatee County Health Director, Dr. John Ambrusko and his wife Phyllis, and were raised in Bradenton, Florida.
    Although Mike never wanted his mother's murder to define his life, the horrific events instilled in him a desire to change things for the better and would characterize him for the rest of his life.
    Mike graduated from Manatee High School in Bradenton, where he played football, ran track, and rowed crew for the Sarasota Scullers.
    After graduating from the University of South Florida with a bachelor's degree, Mike continued on to the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism in New York where he earned his master's degree. Mike worked as a reporter and content producer for The Christian Science Monitor, The New York Post, and The National Memo, and as a researcher for the television series "Crime Watch Daily With Chris Hansen".
    Mike was adored by so many and impacted the lives of countless people during his abbreviated time on earth. His life is in part defined by his passions and what he valued most. He was an eloquent writer, gifted artist, voracious traveler, avid surfer and snowboarder, and music enthusiast. During his short life, he explored paths in Atlanta, New York City, and Los Angeles, and met countless meaningful friends along the way. However, he always considered Bradenton, Florida and its community to be his home.
    As Mike's friend, Brendan Flanagan, reflected, "Though Mike's time was short, he will remain part of our lives forever. In many ways, we already feel his impact through the compassion, gratitude, and support that has been pouring in since his death. We hope that he is looking down on us now, together with his mom, Sara, smiling, laughing, and knowing how much he was loved and respected."
    When Rick spoke at Mike's burial, his parting words were, "Mike was my younger brother, but I always looked up to him. I know Heaven instantly got more fun, vibrant, and creative with Mike up there. I love you, Mikey, and will miss you every day for the rest of my life. Love your big brother - Rick."
    Mike's life can be summed up by a verse from one of his favorite poems: "what matters most...is how well you walk through the fire."
    Mike was buried with his mother, Sara Ambrusko Tokars, and grandparents, John and Phyllis Ambrusko, at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Buffalo, New York.
    Mike is survived by his brother, Rick Tokars; aunts, Therese (Craig Carlson) Ambrusko, Gretchen Schaeffer, Mary (Bob) Bennett, Joni Ambrusko, Karen (Neal) Wilcox, and Krissy (Gary) Pennington; nine cousins who loved him like a brother; and his beloved dog, Frank.

    He really was a a$$hole . I was raised in East Marietta and was raising my kids there when this happened. I was a waitress back then so I had met Tokars before at the restaurant.
    My middle son got into some minor trouble not long after this happened (he was 17 in the wrong place at the wrong time) and we had to go turn him into the police then wait around forever so we could bail him out. He was put in a cell next to Tokars. He said the guy had a computer, Books, and stacks of papers everywhere. He was working on his defense. All that stuff didn’t help him a bit! I’m so glad it didn’t!! He was evil in my opinion.
    I don’t know how the son Michael passed but I’m glad to hear Ricky is doing ok. Ricky was the one who saw it all.

    Shout out to Sara for being smart enough to gather pertinent information so that this disgusting scum bag would STILL have to pay the consequences for his actions even if she’s dead. I really advise that everyone who is in a toxic and/abusive relationship does the same thing. If you know this relationship isn’t likely to last then you need to gather whatever proof you can in order to make sure the person you’re with doesn’t get to roll with whatever narrative they want after a breakup or divorce.

      This is a complete clickbait title. The 8-year-old son had NOTHING to do with outsmarting his mom's killer. He wasn't even aware of the killer's identity until the police arrested his father. This is such a shame, because the case is quite sensational on its own and definitely didn't need a clickbait title to get people to watch it. Shame on the uploaders for using an 8-year-old's trauma to get views. Disliked and reported to RUclips.

When we were able to talk about it, we all agreed he was a slime. And looked like crap. The toll his then “LIFESTYLE” was taking on him really showing.
    I did later learn that he acted as a jailhouse snitch in several trials. Why anybody believed a word he ever said is beyond me. He may as well have had “LIAR” stamped on his forehead.

What an articulate child who can process such an analogy to truly get across how he remembers. Astounding. I don't think children get the credit that they deserve at times. Amazing, yet sad. I wish a home run was a memory instead of this horror.

      There is absolutely no reason to report it. Reporting a video puts the channel needlessly under review.
      The facts are correct. There are no codes and guidelines broken. A Clickbait thumbnail, isn't fake news, misinformation or disinformation.
      Get over it and instigating a channel to have their video pulled, a possible strike against them and to be under review for the "advertising strategy used".
      That is an abuse of the reporting function and needlessly wastes everyone's time. And comes with severe ramifications, just because you think they should have done it differently.
