There are no words i can say that can make this pain go away, all i can say is you i am so sorry for your loss. Will was a good kid and he was like one of my own kids very respectful and considerate. Will, will be missed by everyone he touched. I guess god needed another angel and that is why he took will, that way he can watch us fromm above.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Vatuvei family. I am lucky to say that I was one of Will's teachers from the 5th to 8th grade at All Saints. I will always remember Will for his kind heart and sense of humor. You will truely be missed by all who have crossed your path.

I'm so very sorry to hear about your son, I know how very close you are to your boys. We'll keep you and your family in our prayers, and as a mother, I grieve so much with you. Reading the entries of his friends, it's so very clear that Will was a special young man. God be with you, now more than ever,

Mr. and Mrs.Vatuvei,
I am so saddened by the news of Will. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I was the Varsity coach at Moreau Will's sophmore year. I met the both of you when I introduced Chris Major to you and Will. I enjoyed him as a man who was able to work with others so easily and make an old coach laugh. He will be forever in my heart. May God watch over you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Will's passing. He was a student of mine a year or so ago, and while I probably wasn't his favorite teacher ever, I was pulling for him to find his path through school and life. From what I hear, he was getting started on that new path.
My most sincere condolences to his friends and family.

I only knew Will for a year at Moreau but cherish those days greatly. We became real good friends eating lunch together in our group everyday and playing ball. Everyday at school and at practice he was laughing and making us laugh, not to mention he was a beast on the field. Will was a great man, friend, teammate and will truly be missed. My deepest condolences to the Vatuvei family. Rest in paradise Big Will!

I've never imagined Will passing like this. He was always a good person. I met Will in 9th grade at HHS and he always had my back no matter what. I remember a day where I was in a bad mood and Will kept messing with me just to get me laughing! There was always laughs and smiles when he was around. When I was in bad situations he was right there to keep me up! I've lost alot of friends in my life, but will was more than a regular friend and i'm truly going to miss him! It's been a very long time since i've shed a tear and I struggle to hold them back every time I think of this. I remember the night of graduation, I had a Grad party/pool party and Will was there with Nela. He told me after we walked the stage that he would come first and he kept his words, showed up first. I had already had a few drinks and I was getting ready to pick someone up and he constantly made sure I was ok to drive safely. I remember him and Nela saying, " Be careful brah, we want you alive!" When I think of this, it gets to me badly. I send out all my love to the family! I LOVE YOU WILL AND YOU TRULY ARE MISSED!!!!!

No one really understands how to come to terms with something like this, but I just realized I've just realized I lost someone who I was proud to call a friend. I haven't seen him for a while, but it doesn't change the fact that he was friend. Its tremendous loss to not only all who knew him but to all who have yet to know him as well. He was a good person who left us way too soon. He had a personality that no one could help but like and all the easier to become friends with. I'm at a loss of words of how I feel about this loss, but I do send my thoughts and prayers to the Vatuvei Family. To an incredible friend and man. William to you my friend. You are loved and will be missed.

Will, i miss you so much. i honestly couldn't believe you were really taken from us like that. you have always been a great friend. you never failed to make me smile, and we always had a good laugh. its hard to imagine life without you on this earth because you mean so much to me, and everyone else. i know you're shining down on us from heaven, but that doesnt make things much easier. we'll all be together again someday.

Wow, its shocking, it was like yesterday when he used to come to ohana's asking for free food, always joking and making me laugh, bothering me at work. He had such a good heart, and you could tell. Life is short, his life was stolen, but there is life after death, and he is probably living it up in paradise Joking with the rest of our fallen soldiers. God rest his soul. Always had a smile that would lift anyone's spirits. Forever in my prayers. Praying for his family and friends also. Forever missed: William Vatuvei.

MAN...I CAN BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED. WILL WAS A GREAT INFLUENCE AT HAYWARD HIGH. WHILE BEING UP THERE, HE WAS ALMOST LIKE A BIG BROTHER TO MANY OF THE POLYNESIAN KIDS UP THERE. HE ALWAYS LOOKED OUT FOR US AND ALWAYS MADE SURE WE WERE COOL, HE TOOK ON THE BIG BROTHER ROLL AND MANY LOOKED UP TO HIM. HE IS A GREAT KID NO MATER WHAT. I WILL KEEP THE VATUVEI FAMILY IN MY PRAYERS. WILL WOULD NOT WANT US TO BE SAD BECAUSE HE WAS ALWAYS A HAPPY KIND OF PERSON. MAY GOD REST YOUR SOUL WILL

Dear Vatuvei family,
I am sorry about what happened to your son. He has always been a good friend of mine every since i met him freshman year at summer school. I remember all the times we shared together especially during sophmore year when we had a majority of our schedule together. I even recall when will came to my house because we were partners for a class project and how much fun it was working with him. He was one of my best friends that year and I was sad to see him go then and sadder to see him leave now. Unfortunately we lost contact after that year but I am truely sorry about what happened and If there is any way i can pay my final respects to Will please let me know.

Will and I never knew each other for that long. We played football on the frosh/soph Moreau Catholic football team, and I would see him occasionally at All Saints. All I can say is, out of all the time I actually spent with him, the word "crime" would be grossly understating the act of robbing this world of his presence. He was a great guy that did not deserve this, and neither does the family that raised him. My condolences to all his loved ones, I'm quite sorry for your loss.

Noa, Fiona, Rachael, and Other Family Members:
My condolences and prayers to each of you as you try to cope with William's passing...I know that words do little to help your pain when you are suddenly stricken with unanticipated grief, but know that my family and are I willing to be there for you during this time.
I did not know William personally, but I always enjoyed his contributions to our Liturgical Dance Ministry at All Saints Catholic Church. He was always pleasant and polite towards me. My daughter, Lailah, knew William from All Saints School and as an Altar Server at church.
Noa and Fiona, thank you for the obviously good parenting and the spiritual role-modeling that you provided for William's earthly journey.
The Butkowski Family (Ladd, Pansy, and Lailah) loves you.
January 5, 2010
Will you were a good person and greater friend. I am proud to say that you were my friend. You always wore a smile on your face without fail. You always knew how to make me smile. Your personality and smile will be missed.
Vatuvei family you are in my prayers cherise the time we had with Will. Love you kid.
Love, Angelica Juarez

Nothing really to say but SORRY...stuff like this is not suppose to happen...ofa lahi atu!!! I will see you all at the Cherry House and prayer meetings.

I was so shocked to hear the news. I still am. He was truly a great person. I never felt safer and laughed harder than when I was around Will. For sure, Good friends and solid people are hard to find. I want everyone to know that we are all on our very own journeys, but don't ever forget that you are not alone. I pray that we will all get through this together.
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
Deuteronomy 31:6
Will,
There will never be anybody like you. It’s painful to know that the time we shared was the last and I’ll never hear your voice again. There is so much that I want to say to you and more I wish we could have talked about. I hope that you smile down from the heavens and bring peace to everyone's hearts. I love you and guarantee that you will never be forgotten. ?
Love, Mickey
My heart goes out to his family.

I played football with Will our freshman year at HHS. I can remember once when I jumped to catch a football and Will knocked me down harder than I've ever been hit. I couldn't see straight for a minute. He was a good friend and a great football player. I'm sorry to have heard of his passing and know that he's better off where he is.
