Life story

Tevita Filise Tapaevalu Soane-Kama was born in Maufanga, Tonga, to Soane Mateo and Kolotita Kama. As the eldest of eight children, he carried responsibility from a young age, shaping him into a strong, disciplined, and deeply principled man. Known for being very strict, his firmness came from love and a desire to see his family grow with values, respect, and strength. Beneath that seriousness was a man who genuinely cared for everyone around him.

Tevita married Falua Eleni Fusi, and together they built a beautiful life centered on family. They were blessed with six children and many grandchildren whom they cherished deeply. Family meant everything to him, and his love extended not only to his children and grandchildren but also to friends and anyone fortunate enough to know him. He traveled often, embracing new places and experiences while always staying connected to home.

He was funny, smart, and incredibly talented. Tevita loved to cook and bake, often sharing his creations with others. He enjoyed making things, fixing things, and taking on challenges with creativity and determination. His hands were always busy, and his heart was always full. Tevita Soane will be remembered as a loving father and grandfather, loyal friend, and a man whose strength, humor, and generosity left a lasting impact on everyone he loved.
