Friends, colleagues, and Rudsdale High School community members gathered Monday to remember a longtime Oakland Unified School District carpenter who died in a shooting last year at the school.
The remembrance for David Sakurai, 64, started in the lunchroom at the school at 8251 Fontaine St. in Oakland.
Students and the community established a peace garden for Sakurai at Rudsdale, which is part of a larger campus called King Estates. High School students created the benches in the school's architecture academy and donated them, Rudsdale Principal Alessandra Cabrera said in an interview Tuesday. "For me, he was always kind and friendly," she said. "He always valued his work." He was also the prankster in the school district's Department of Buildings and Grounds, she said.
"It's been very hard" since the shooting, Okahara said. She said she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.
