TALI TAUKEIAHO Obituary

Tali Kihihifo Taukei'aho 1981 ~ 2010 Tali Kihihifo Taukei'aho, 29, West Valley City. Our beloved son, brother, uncle, husband and father passed away unexpectedly on June 1, 2010. He was born on May 7, 1981 to Sione Aho'valu and Lopaola Angilau Taukeiaho. He was number six of seven children. He has three sisters and three brothers. Sister, Josephine (Aisea Akaoula), sister, Lineti (Skylouni Tua'one), brother, Andrew (Heather), sister, Litia (Teiko Vaea), brother, Johnny, and brother, Tufui. Tali was a fun loving guy who loved to crack jokes on anything and everybody. His family always came first, especially his children. Tali is survived by his wife, Jessika and two week old son, Tali Melino Ofa ki Uesivila Jr. and Damiana Luz. He is also survived by his eldest son, one-year-old Kennedy James Kihihifo and his sister who is due to come into this world in August 2010 by Siu Pauni.

Fui-
When I saw Tali's obituary it took my breath away and made me so sad. I always loved visiting with Tali when he would come into the office. He was always so friendly. He loved you so much and always talked about you with great love and pride. Please stay close and let his childen know how great their father was and how much he loved them. If you need ANYTHING, please don't hesitate to contact me. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Sincerely,
Brooke Bennion

Dear Tali, I remember the first time you came to Hunter. That huge smile just lit up the room. You had a great career in football and terrific grades; which you were the most proud of.I will forever remember the last time i saw you and we filled out the papers for school. you were so excited and happy. You were our "pretty boy". we had some fun times with the football and then watching sally play volleyball. those are the memories that i will keep in my heart. God bless your family to have peace of mind and heart, and your children, shine bright in the sky to guide them. i will look up there to see your star with george, fatback, and fred.ofa atu, tali, "Shine On". ms. j
