I can’t imagine how different things will be without Taro Firanelli in our lives in the Highlands of Scotland in #SecondLife. Taro’s passing in recent days reminds me how special, yet tenuous, life can be in the virtual world. My fondest memories of him will always be moments

In the expansive digital world of #SecondLife, avatars are more than pixels arranged on a screen—they are extensions of identity, vessels of creativity, and bridges to human connection. Taro Firanelli was all that and so much more. He was an important part of our Second Life

We remember our friend and colleague, Taro Firanelli, who for the last 17 years has been a part of our Highlands Family. Although we mourn his passing, we rejoice that he is at peace and healed.

Memorial services for Taro Firanelli will be held on Sunday, 23 November 2025 at the Cathedral Church of Dornoch at 12:00 PM SLT with Magnus Brody, Diùc of Urquhart & the Ness and Ethan Westland officiating. Taro was part of our community for 17 years and will be greatly missed. SLURL maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Dor…
