Remembering Elder Aleki Langi

We are overwhelmed with love and deeply grateful for the outpouring of support and kindness our family has received during this incredibly difficult time.

On Thursday, May 1, 2025 our beloved son, brother, grandson, nephew & friend, Elder Aleki Faletoto Langi, was tragically taken from us at just 18 years old. While faithfully serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Charlotte, North Carolina, Aleki was struck by a car while riding his bicycle and passed away.

Aleki was temporarily assigned to serve in North Carolina while awaiting his visa to continue his mission in Kingston, Jamaica. He was full of faith, light, and love—always seeking to lift others and share the gospel. His kind heart and joyful spirit touched everyone who met him, and his absence is felt deeply by all who knew and loved him.

We have created this fundraiser to help ease the financial burden of Elder Langi’s family as they make arrangements to bring him home and lay him to rest. Your support—whether through donations, kind words, or continued prayers—means the world to us. Thank you for honoring Aleki’s life and legacy with your love and generosity.
