The FUA Fund

Our beloved son, brother, uncle, soldier and above all FRIEND was tragically taken from this earth late Friday night. He was crossing the street with another friend when they were both struck by a car that was travelling east bound on 300 s. They were in the right of way and the person driving the vehicle was arrested for driving under the influence at the scene. While so many of us are in such a state of disbelief and shock it is now that we must come together to honor and celebrate the life of a man who gave so much to each person he came in contact with. Fua is best described as a character. His energy was always felt no matter where he was or who he was with. He had the ability to light up any room he walked into. His charm, wit, humor, compassion, loving, giving, loyal, friendly, funny life of the party persona was so obvious to all.  He was a give the shirt off his back kind of man. We all honored his service in the marines as he was thrown into combat to fight for our country. Although none of us could have ever truly understood the effects that the war had on him he stood tall and kept going for the sake of the people he loved. For every person feeling this tremendous loss we all have in common that he had a huge impact on our lives. He had the ability to see the world through the eyes of compassion which was a true gift.  As we anticipate the memorial services to take place later this week (update to come) please consider in lieu of flowers a donation. Anything helps. Im am sure he is barking from the heavens as we all knew Fua to have such pride. For all of the times he has given back to each one of us lets take this opportunity to honor his generosity and help his family lay him to rest. Fua thank you for being you. You are so loved and you will be so missed. You are set free and at peace.
