🕊🤍Auckland Samoa Rugby Football Union (ASRFU) mourns the passing of one of our esteemed Patron, To'alepai Tupuola Asotasi Fa'asiliga Lui Tautolo.
To'alepai was a respected leader, devoted family man, and a man of unwavering faith whose wisdom, humility, and generosity left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. As one of our key Patrons of ASRFU, he was a steadfast source of guidance, encouragement, and support, always championing the growth of Samoan rugby and the wellbeing of our players, families, and wider community.
His legacy extends far beyond the rugby field. He inspired others through his quiet leadership, servant heart, and deep commitment to strengthening our people and upholding the values of faith, respect, service, and unity.
We give thanks for his faithful service and the enduring legacy he leaves for future generations.
“Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord… They will rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them.” — Revelation 14:13
On behalf of the Auckland Samoa Rugby Football Union, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the Tautolo aiga and to all who mourn the loss of To'alepai. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. May God's peace and comfort surround you, and may To'alepai rest eternally in the loving embrace of our Lord.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
Manuia lau malaga, To'alepai. Ia e malolo i le filemu o Keriso. Fa'afetai mo lau tautua ma lou ta'ita'iga. E lē galo oe. 🤍🙏
