Tunufa’i Ta’ase

In the early morning hours of September 2, 2023 Tunufa’i Ta’ase suffered a heart attack in his home after spending the week in the hospital. He was transported by ambulance to the hospital where passed away shortly after. The family mourns his loss and we, the friends of Tunufa’i and Laurie Ta’ase, are organizing this fundraiser with hopes that we can get some help for the family during this trying time. The Ta’ase family is one of the most kind and generous people and will be the first to help if they could. Unfortunately, the table has turned this time and they are in need of help. Laurie is still battling her fight with Stage 4 Breast Cancer and that alone has been a big burden.

Additional medical bills from his stay in the hospital are expected along with expenses for the funeral that are forthcoming. Tunufa’i was the provider for his family and the future of his small business is unclear at this time with his passing. Living expenses will still be an inevitable part of everyday living.

If you would like to help in lightening their load and burden, we invite you to donate towards the Ta’ase’ family. No amount is too small or unseen. The outpouring of love and support has been amazing in the form of messages, phone calls, visits, food, hugs, etc. It is much appreciated. Tunufa’i was just that type of person.

He will always be remembered. His smile, laugh and kind words. He definitely had a talent to lift and recognize others. He was a friend to many and the patriarch of the family he loved so much. Please help if you can. Thank you.
