His 6 brothers were his best friends, and he cherished the relationship that he had with his oldest sister, Mele Lilo and twin, Dyan-Rose. Growing up, he enjoyed playing football for Granger High School. He served an honorable mission in Santa Rosa, California - in which he loved to share the experiences he had there. He was married and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple to the love of his life, ‘Ana Michelle. They raised a beautiful family of 8 children. He was a loving father to his children and grand-children, and taught them the importance of hard-work and service to others. He shared a passion for music with his dad, Takapautolo - and looked forward to marching every year, in the Days of ’47 Parade, with his trumpet in hand. Those who knew him know of the kind heart and Christ-like spirit he had. His hands were big, yet gentle. And his quiet demeanor was accompanied by his humble approach. He was an entrepreneur at heart. But the greatest attribute he had, was his faith in Jesus Christ. Every time he spoke of the Savior, his eyes would fill with tears before he could even finish a sentence. HIs love for Him was reflected in the life that he lived. He will be missed by his family and dear friends.
