Life story

Our favorite guy. Toa loved music, golf, and the Dallas Cowboys. He was known as the Samoan Elvis and was such a great entertainer.

He always had a cooler full of treats and a pocket full of napkins. He loved his Trans Am, peanut M&M’s, his trusty Honda, ice water with

lots of ice, America and Donald Trump. He was a fierce and loyal friend (or your worst enemy), a brother to all, an amazing husband, the best girl dad and the world's best Poppy. He enjoyed spending time with his grandchildren more than anything. His favorite things were watching them play golf, playing “hike hike” with the boys, watching them on the football field, cheering for volleyball teams, watching dance and choir performances, going on individual traditional birthday dates, trips to Disney World, Christmas Adam, summer sleepovers, flickering the lights on the porch to say goodbye, weekly family Sunday dinners and giving his baby Maliana her dollars every time he would see her. He loved these babies more than anything.

We love and miss you so much.
