Hello all,

This fund is for my dad, Suaese Utu IV, or as many of you have known him, Junior. My dad passed away peacefully, in his sleep on November 14th of this year, 2021. His death was sudden and unexpected. He lived together with his sister and his daughter, and was a major contributor to the household. This fundraiser is setup to help cover costs related to the cremation, memorial and other end of life costs the family will bear.

My father was a special kind of person. He lived for experiences with people, and not for things. He found joy in spending time with his children, getting a good steak with his cousin, and enjoying a beer with friends. He had a way of making people smile even when we shouldn't be. He joked in uncomfortable situations, and always tried to lighten the mood. When we were down, he shared the burdens of his friends and family.

Thank you to all who have reached out already, and have found it in your heart to send kind words to our family. All gestures, big and small are appreciated. It's heartwarming to know that he impacted the lives of so many others.

To a loving father, caring friend, and tireless worker, rest in peace Junior.
