Born in Suva, Fiji, September 6, by the sea, He crossed the ocean to California, with his family. Street-smart, humble, with a heart so grand, He lived for his 7 kids, his pride, his clan. He told us "Live your lives, don't cry for me," He fought through pain, but kept us in sight, "Live your lives," he said, "and i’ll be alright." Now he's free from pain, at peace by the sea. With his mom again, no more tears to cry, Missed by his father, sisters, and us 7. au domoni iko until we meet again up high.
