Tommy Piros helped create Kayak Race on Cuyahoga River. Rest in peace.
According to his family, Tommy Piros, 24, suffered a head injury while cliff jumping in West Virginia on Sunday. He died on Tuesday.
"Tommy is larger than life— larger than his personality— always brought positivity and encouragement and motivation," Howdyshell said. COVID-19 paused the race in 2020, but the event has returned as Cuyahoga Falls Fest for paddling athletes. It takes place every April. Danny Mizicko was also close with Piros. He's the founder of Stuck in Ohio, an outdoor adventure production company.
Friends told News 5 they'll always remember Piros for his talents on the river, but a big part of his legacy will be what he did for others who also enjoy kayaking.
