Siosiua, or Josh as he was called by family and friends, was born September 2, 1992 in Salt Lake City to ‘Iveni Mosese and Sulieti Maka Taufa. He graduated from Skyline High School in 2011. He was a 4 year Seminary graduate, an Eagle Scout, and loved playing football and attended the Navy Football Camp on two occasions.
He loved his 3 sisters, always looked up to his older brother, Ma'ake. Joshua also loved his cousins, aunties, uncles, and ALL the little children with all of his heart. Josh was an excellent athlete. His mother characterizes him as dependable, obedient, humble, never complaining, loves to share, kind, and loves to laugh. His mother also remembers, he was slow at getting a "pu'i" task done but he did complete it no matter what. He will give you the shirt off his back, and will walk with you the extra mile if needed. His parents say that he was so "mata kainga pea ‘ofa ta'efilifilimanako" love his family and others and have that unconditional love always.
When he arrived here on earth his Heavenly home was sad and his family that greeted him here on earth was joyous. Now, we mourn his passing and his Heavenly home is joyous to have Siosiua return to them "With Honor". We are so very grateful for the plan of salvation and KNOWING that "FAMILIES ARE FOREVER"!
He is survived by his parents; his brother, Ma'ake Masiu; his sisters, Siosiane "Jozey", Luluku ‘Elisiva, and Lavinia.
Funeral Services will be held at 11:00am on Friday, June 28, 2013 at the Tongan North Stake Center, 3350 South 4440 West, Salt Lake City, Utah.
