A Heroic Sacrifice

A Heroic Sacrifice

A beloved brother, uncle, friend, husband, and father of 6 beautiful children. The youngest of 16 siblings was well-known for being a Jokester. Whenever we would have our family gatherings, you could always count on him to crack jokes while cracking open a cold one! All jokes aside, Tali was a kind, loyal, and selfless family man with a pure heart of gold. Always there, always willing to help anyone in need.

Unfortunately, his selfless act cost him his life!

A distress call was all it took for him to quickly react. Although it was a successful rescue, his act of bravery came with the ultimate price to save the lives of two complete strangers.

What was supposed to be a family day at Shelley beach has turned into a tragedy - an unspoken sacrifice not forthcoming for our family. Our hearts are heavy as we come to terms with the news and prepare to lay him to rest. We are comforted knowing that his final act of kindness was not in vain, and he will always be commemorated as a HERO.

This page has been put together on behalf of our dear aunty Salai and Talis 6 beautiful children. All proceeds will go directly to his partner and children to ease the financial burden of his sudden passing.

On behalf of the Taupa’u family we would like to express our sincere gratitude for your kind words of strength, prayers and love for Tali and his family.

Forever in our hearts, you will truly be missed.

To God be the glory!
