A loving husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and the greatest friend anyone could ask for. Our sweet father is the oldest amongst ten. He is the son of Peni Folau'o (deceased) & Lagilelei Togiai Folauo'o (deceased), His siblings are as followed: Lomiali'l leremia (deceased) Fa'aeega Young, Fuaoloa Li (deceased), Toaolemotu Folauo'o, Fatufua Folauo'o, Daniel Dennis Folauo'o, Patricia Folauo'o, Terri Asafo & Auma Folauo'o. His Godmother was Fatufua Folauo'o (deceased). Our father's life was a radiant tapestry, woven with threads of unwavering faith, boundless love and quiet strength. He walked humbly, yet his presence filled every room with warmth and wisdom. In his words, we comfort; in his actions, we saw grace. He was steady light in our lives- a father, a mentor and a friend. Though he has departed from this world, his spirit remains etched in the hearts of all who knew him. His legacy lives on in the kindness he showed, the values he upheld and the love he gave so freely. We carry him with us-in our memories, in our stories, and in the way we strive to live with the same faith and compassion he so beautifully embodied. A preacher to a pastor, an athlete to a coach, an explorer to a married man with kids, a magazine reader to knowing 90% of each football players stamina and status, a political man to a missionary and during the last days of his life, crossword puzzle cheater (he would rip the back pages and find the answers haha) and to a fish filet lover haha. He was an intelligent man and a God-fearing individual. His line of work during his time was from police academy, to an investigator for the Attorney General, inspector for FEMA and retired as a Director for the Parks and Recreation. He is survived by his spouse: Savali Fruean, His Children: Trinity Ofoia (Taipeaua Ofoia): Trist-Anne (17), Tarinn (15), Tai (14), Tia (11), and Tulu Ofoia (10). Sinapati Vaetoe, Jr. (Maselina Vaetoe): Flo-Gladys (6), Nathaniel (2) & Nicolas (1). Trina Fa'aifo: Khalia (3) & Kilali (2). Grandchildren: Toa Lefatia (Hannah & Paul Lefatia) & Tanielu Mclean (Tepatasi & Daniel Mclean). Adopted grandson: Noah Powe He will be missed by many and his humility will never be forgotten by all. Butch, our dad, will always have a positive impact in everyone's lives. A gentleman who never bothers a soul even during his last days on earth, a father who never complained about pain, a grandfather who spoiled his kids and the kids around the world and a loving husband to our mother, Savali.
