To know the Faiai Family is to love them, and to put that more accurately: to know them means they love you. They've spent their lives pouring their love into others, their community, and their family in immeasurable ways. Well, now it's time for them to be the ones embraced in love.

It's hard to even put this into words because it still doesn't seem real... But yesterday we suddenly lost the Patriarch of the Faiai Four from a tragic heart attack. Steve Faiai was a loving father, a doting husband, committed public servant, youth coach, and a friend to all who knew him. He will be missed profoundly.

With the unexpected nature of his passing, the financial burden will be heavy, so I'm creating this GoFundMe to help lighten that load. My sister would never want to ask for help, but we all know she'd be the first person to create a GoFundMe for someone who needed it. Any amount given will be an incredible support to the family as we give them space to grieve and process.

Lastly, I'll let Steve himself wrap this up with these beautiful words he wrote just a few weeks back:

"One day when Jesus calls me to glory, there are only two things that I'll ever want to be remembered for: being a great husband to my Queen and a great dad to my two amazing sons."

Thank you for your love and support.
