The entire Australian freestyle community is devastated to hear this tragic news as we wake this morning. Our thoughts are with Ken and Berva who have been such inspiring and supportive members of our community over many years. Brayden will be missed dearly by all of us here.
Freestyle Canada and its entire sport community were devastated with the news that National NextGen Mogul Team athlete Brayden Kuroda had passed away suddenly last night.
Brayden was a very special young man. His infectious smile and passion for the sport of Freestyle skiing inspired our community. He always found the time to give back, underscoring how important it was to him personally to be a good role model on and off the hill and to encourage young athletes to reach their goals.
His work ethic, passion and natural talent were all contributing to propel him quickly through the Freestyle pathway. Brayden was the third highest Canadian on home soil at the World Cup in Calgary recently as his parents watched proudly from the bottom of the course.
The hearts, thoughts and prayers of our entire community go out to Brayden’s team mates, friends and family – most particularly Ken and Berva Kuroda his ever proud mother and father.

Freestyle Canada et l'ensemble de sa communauté sportive ont été dévastés par la nouvelle que Brayden Kuroda, athlète de l'équipe nationale NextGen de bosses, était décédé subitement hier soir.
Brayden était un jeune homme très spécial. Son sourire contagieux et sa passion pour le ski acrobatique ont inspiré notre communauté. Il trouvait toujours le temps de donner en retour, soulignant combien il était important pour lui personnellement d'être un bon modèle tant sur les pistes qu'en dehors et d'encourager les jeunes athlètes à atteindre leurs objectifs.
Son éthique du travail, sa passion et son talent naturel ont tous contribué à le faire cheminer rapidement. Brayden a signé la troisième meilleure performance canadienne lors de la Coupe du monde de Calgary récemment, sous le regard fier de ses parents au bas du parcours.
Nos cœurs, nos pensées et nos prières accompagnent les coéquipiers de Brayden, ses amis et sa famille, et plus particulièrement Ken et Berva Kuroda, ses parents.
