I agree with you Joe. I have lived on the street he died on and their is NO way he was driving under 90 miles an hour to not hit that pole and tree like that, it is obvious that he was drinking NOT maybe! Time to wake up!

It does it matter how he died and how he was driving it seems to me that you two have a lot of free times to be commenting in my friend death ... He was a wonderful friend something that you guys probably dont because you two sound like some miserble people.... GET A LIFE >>>

There is never an excuse for drunk driving, but you should not let your opinions about Junior's irresponsibility overshadow the tragedy of what he has left behind. That child will be born without a father and the responsibility for providing for and raising him will be left on the mother. She deserves sympathy and support.

I have no sympathy for this guy what so ever. None. And the people trying to raise money should be ashamed of themselves. They're just using this man's death for their own popularity boost.

I agree with Bob on this one -- Brian Jill - sounds like an alias, and the user name was just created within the last 48 hours.

Drinking & driving is a unacceptable, but the widow does not deserved to be attacked.

There are those who knock the Brazilian community - but like the Italians say in the North End or the Chinese in Chinatown - the Brazilains here in Framingham are no different; they are close knit community

Here, some members of the Brazilian community are choosing to support a woman who lost her fiance tragically (perhaps due to drinking and driving, unconfirmed at the moment) and is due to give birth to their son in just weeks.

Wouldn't you support a family member or a friend in the same situation?

Partying at 3 am......unacceptable!
If you think that is what a would be father to be should be doing than fine.
I have no sympathy for people that have no respect for life.
I'm talking HIS own life! Good thing he didn't take another life with him.
No respectable person should be tooling around at 3am and then drinking to boot!
The family should be ashamed of what he did. And that is another story....the family will have to deal with it now. Drinking and driving, bad news no matter who is driving

First off.....he isnt anything but a man who died....who would have been a father.....and that is tragic.... National backgrounds....in this story is what is unexceptable....There are about 30,000 deaths per year to drunken driving...nation wide.......The people are dead....the racism and ignorance ....isnt needed....Those members of the community who are going to support the widow....and her baby...are doing the human thing....to dehumanize it in any way is unexceptable. this community of framingham doesnt need the racist hate... 2nd I have not seen that the driver was PROVEN to be drunk....I drove home from NYC last night....and I havent taken a drink in a few decades.......and because it was about 2am in the monring I was exhausted and closed my eyes on the interstate about 10 times...before pulling into the rest stop on I 84.....in conn......a few of those times I could have easily died...as I was all over the road when my eyes opened.....so in case the person is not guilty of anything but destroying his own life....and lucky no one elses.........But drunk or not.....race should not be in this conversation. The only conversation is what is going to happen to the wife and baby...

EVERYONE in the community of Framingham should consider helping the mother and Baby....Joe....your freedom of speech is supported by many people who DONT support what you say........so you are the first who should consider helping the widow and her family instead of throwing out stupid remarks after a person lost his life.

Lloyd....I haven't said anything about this fellas legals status.....
Don't know why you're turning my comments into a racist issue.
In regards to the drunk driving issue, I wasn't there but it doesn't look good for him with the evidence presented.
LLoyd...you drove home from N.Y....did you have any open beer bottles in the car.
How about closed ones....don't think so. How fast we're you driving?
You are a lot more responsible that this poor fella who drove way too fast and had beer in his car. Not a good combination, to say the least.
According to the testimony given....this fella was out for a good time and thought he could fly...and he did, right into a telephone pole.

What a sad, sad story. I say we stop our bickering and say a prayer for this mother and her unborn child. May she and her family somehow find peace during this holiday season.

Donald -- I agree 100%!
And Joe: You are right - "Drunk driving is a NO NO, no matter what nationality one is."

I just passed by the scene of the accident and spoke to a Framingham police officer who was attending to some utility work. He said that from what he's heard, the driver "had to be going nearly 100 MPH" to cause the kind of damage the accident created. That area of Franklin St. is a 25 MPH zone. It's almost inconceivable that a vehicle could get enough running room to build up that kind of speed in that location.

The officer also said speeding is a growing problem because people are so busy and in a rush. Speed is out of control everywhere, he said, and the town PD is ill-equipped to keep up. The force is down to just seven patrol cars from a peak of 17. It's not just budget cuts that have hurt enforcement. Officers have recently left for opportunities with the State Police and special assignment forces have taken resources away from patrols. He did not sound optimistic about stepped-up enforcement in the future.

Paul: Sadly speeding IS an issue all over town.
The road I live on is marked 25 miles per hour and many drive 55 mph on it during the morning and evening commute. Mind, you it is not a main road, either.

Residents over by Dennison Avenue were complaining about speeding in their neighborhood this summer to the traffic and roadway committee.

The intersection of Franklin and Mt. Wayte, near this fatal accident, is the location of a car crash at least once a week, IMO, from reading the logs.

At that time of night, the driver killed could have gotten up to 100 mph if he never had any intention of stopping at the light at Franklin and Mt. Wayte. I've seen many drivers speed through that intersection, which I go by on almost a daily basis.

Thanks for posting!

I think everybody should shut the F up about how he died. It was a HUGE tradegy, and I feel sorry for his family and loved ones. Everyone makes mistakes, and as we know he did as well, and it ended terribly, but NOBODY is perfect!

And how would you feel if you were in that same situation? I doubt you would appreciate the comments people would put! Instead of being so negative and RUDE, try to have some feelings...

Drinking and driving is no mistake! Misjudgement yes.
Yes it's a shame he died but he chose to drink and drive.
Now multiply this scenario by how many thousands of times per day?
Sadly his death is a wake up call for others.
Jim@ccfiile.com

Drinking and driving is a choice some people make, and don't realize the consequences of what could or might happen, but I feel as tho it was a mistake on his part. I may be wrong for thinking that, but my heart takes over when such tragedy's happen. You may say its a wake up call for others, but with all the tradegy's that have happened before his, did they learn? No they did not! There should be tougher laws out there that can prevent this from happening again to someone else!

Ann.....How do WE stop a person who drinks heavily and then drives?
The laws are already in place after the fact.....So it really comes down to how one appreciates hi/her life and just says no.
I have a problem with people doing anything that can bring an untimely death.
It all comes done to how much a person loves himself/herself and appreciates the life God gave them and does whatever it takes to prolong life no end it.
Being involved in anything that can take life prematurely is showing disrespect for
the person themselves and our creator who gave this person life.
Laws cannot be made to get people to respect life. I comes from within and a good respectful relationship with our creator.
This is why laws don't work..... the majority pf people lack that relationship.
Sunday morning sermon for today....

Ann: It is Patch policy to use your first and last name on this site. We do not allow pseudo names, like Susan P. or Susan9232.

And as I have said on other articles related to this story, I will allow discussion on how the individual died - although official cause has yet to be released - but discussion of drink driving or excessive speed will be permitted. What will not be allowed is the person's nationality to be discussed.

I will correct it Susan! I understand its Sunday(religious day) for some people, but I am not one of them, I have my own beliefs! So plz don't preach to me! Everyone has there own opinion, and I think some should just be quiet about the subject. Ever since this happened people have done nothing, but disrespect Junior, I would like to see how many people have commented on other fatalities, such as this...but for some reason this "one article" draws alot of attention...

Ann.............. nice to see you have a last name.
I'm curious you said you had your own beliefs....what does that mean?
What are you beliefs based on? Mine are based on God and Bible principles, which are just common sense things.
Sorry if that doesn't work with you beliefs. I'm not ashamed of what I believe.
You can email me off line for more on the subject if you'd like to know more on the subject., not here.
How have some shown "disrespect" for Junior? Most people see the folly of drinking and driving, it just so happens he was the victim.
Oh...one last point...and I will stop my post on this subject....If people had a good relationship with God...they wouldn't be drinking excessively, driving drunk, speeding, or all the other vises out there that tear families apart and cause premature death.
Not a complicated formula to follow just as common sense.
Jim@ccfiile.com

So Jim was it proven that he was drinking and driving???? Cause last I knew it was still under investigation! My boyfriend and I are athiest and he works closely with the Framingham police and knows most of the guys from the state police. And the only thing he heard is speed so far was tge facter. They did not mention anything about his blood alcohol level. Having alcohol in a car is not a crime, and tge amount of damage to the vehicle you dont know where the alcohol was, and of course some bottles would be broken. And as for emailing you off this site, will not happen!

The primary thing now is the mother and baby. Everything else is secondary.

If the deceased was driving at excessive speed and/or if the deceased was driving drunk I have no sympathy for his death. Driving recklessly and endangering the lives of others is a selfish, unexcusable act.

Jim Router: Well said.

I totally agree with you Jim Router in regards to the mother and baby, but I still have issues with some comments that have been made in regards to Junior...I understand everyone is aloud to have there own opinion, but some should just keep there mouth shut and there negative opinions to themselves...sorry

Prayers for the baby and his mother. How or why won't Be Bringing him back to them. Speculation and blame isn't right at any time but especially not while she is grief stricken and with child as well.

It's getting to the point that I don't know who's who here?
I see swearing is creeping it's way onto the site....nice...
Jim@ccfiile.com

Yea so isn't ugly comments...you should know that Jim

We are shocked by this tragedy, just ask people to stop judging and pray for the family. We are in mourning, rest in peace ... we miss you. RIP junior
ANAPAULA

Anapaula I am not judging, I have been on Junior's side since this tradegy happened. Our thoughts go to the family and all of Junior's friends.

@Bob...She'll get another man quickly, notice how pretty she is, she deserves better anyways.

How could you do this kind of comment, you are a miserable person, do not know the value of a human being, be ashamed of yourself. RIP junior rest in peace....

I am so sad to see that the reporting of what IS a tragedy - that is a woman has lost a man she loved and an unborn child the chance to know his daddy - has devolved into name calling and finger pointing. I am certain that any of US - myself included - have done things in our lives of which we are not proud; just because it didn't cost us our lives doesn't make us any more virtuous that this poor guy who paid for his recklessness with his life. Move on, people; if you are so inclined you can fight in the sidewalk outside the funeral home.

Mitz you are ignorant on your last statement...

May God bless his soul and Comforts Dani's and family's members hearts

Junior Koga you will be missed <3

Some people are just completely heartless! Fact of the matter is an unborn child will not meet his daddy and the fiancé will have to raise and support this baby alone. Yes junior was being irresponsible (IF HE WERE DRUNK) but no one deserves to die that way and not be given the chance to witness his first born take his first breath or first steps. It's a tragedy. The comments about her finding a new guy or being cute...come people! This is probably one of the worst things that could happen to someone especially in the state she is in right now. Stress isn't a good factor for a pregnant woman. Have some sympathy. I dont know anyone involved but you are all in my thoughts. May peace be with you!

My sympathy for the wife and the baby.
Thank God no one else was killed or hurt.

Question? How is it people have commented on something I have said here, Even Sue, and there is NO post of what I said?.

>>Sue, said:
Donald -- I agree 100%!
And Joe: You are right - "Drunk driving is a NO NO, no matter what nationality one is.">>

Olá! a todos.
Sou a esposa do pai do Junior.
E agradeço, as pessoas que ajudaram a Dani.
Que Deus vos abençoe!!!!!!
