With hearts full of love, we share the passing of our beloved Maulu Sumu Frank Fa’i, who peacefully left us on 17 March 2025, surrounded by the warmth of his family.
A devoted Father to Terisa, Mary, Rosie, Atalili, Melania, Tina, and Sumu Jnr, Cherished Grandfather, and a beloved Great-Grandfather, he was a pillar of strength, wisdom, and kindness.
His laughter, guidance, and unwavering love will forever live on in the hearts of his Family, and all who have had the privilege of knowing him.
We kindly ask for your prayers as we celebrate his beautiful life and honour his memory.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated for Frank at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Guyton Street, Whanganui on Monday 24 March 2025 at 10:00 a.m. to be followed by interment at Whenua Tapu Cemetery, Porirua.
Though he is no longer with us in person, his love will forever surround us.
He will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
