Salesi Tu'ivailala Taumoepeau Katoa
July 26, 1983 - December 22, 2020
Lala Katoa age 37 of Salt Lake City, UT returned to the loving arms of our Heavenly Father Tuesday December 22, 2020. When his life was taken from us so sudden.

Lala made his grand entrance into this world July 26th, 1983 to Latu Inoke and Emelita Hola Katoa. He was the perfect baby that brought so much Joy in the Katoa home.

Lala was the loving, caring, kind and very giving. He spoke his mind and loved hard with his heart. His smile and laugh was one of A kind. Over-all Lala was an over-protective big Brother that always had big dreams for all his siblings especially his brother/sister in-laws. He wanted the best for everyone, even if that meant he'd go without.

Lala had an immense love for music, writing lyrics and poetry. He was a self taught musician playing the Drums, Piano and Guitar. He was loved to dance and was the best at break dancing growing up.
He was our 5'5 Tongan Ali who moved like butterfly and stung like a bee!

To those that Truly knew him he loved hard and was true to those that showed him the same respect. He loved and and took care of his street family.

He was the biggest mama boy, that always shared his testimony of what his mom taught him. That our Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ lives and LOVES EVERYONE!

He is survived by his one and only child Siale Feao Katoa. His parents Inoke and Leka
Siblings: Semisi (Antonette), Hagoth, Emaluisa, Amelia (Aleki), Silika (Tevita), Lusi, Saimone (Bell), Katea "Baby", Fata'Fehi.
His 16 Nephews and 10 Nieces
He was greeted into heaven by his little brother Heamasi Vaka and Grandparents.

He will be truly missed and his laugh and smile will forever live in our hearts.
Alu a Lala, don't worry about us, we will forever remember & honor you by making sure Siale is always taken care of.
