John Jerry Toilolo

October 8, 1970-February 20, 2019

On February 20, 2019, our beloved brother John Toilolo passed away at the age of 48.

John was born on October 8, 1970 in Huntington Park, California; the 8th child born to Ierenimo Tupuivao Leulupoao Toilolo and Sosefina Tavai Toilolo. John had a passion for music. With his beautiful singing voice, he sang and conducted many choirs in his short life and was a member of the handbell choir at Our Lady of the Lake. John loved sports; he himself excelled in many sports, especially volleyball, his favorite. He was also an enthusiastic fan of his (U.C.) L.A. teams!

John was known for his contagious laugh, warm smile and easy going nature. He loved his family dearly and made many hidden sacrifices for his family.

Most importantly, John was a man of faith. His Catholic faith and love for God was the center of his life, which is why he was always actively involved in the life and ministries of his parish.

John was preceded in death by his father, Irenimo, his mother, Sosefina, and his brother, John I. He is survived by his siblings; Ierenimo, Jr., Andrew, Judith, Abbot Damien (Lui)  Matthew, Patrick, and countless nieces and nephews.
