Tele,
A bright funny young man that my son Noah absolutely loved playing  football with throughout High School. I’m blessed to have the opportunity to laugh with you. I know first hand that you come from a great family from your father and I serving together in the Marines. But now, you’re with your True Heavenly Father. Until we see you again, Rest In Peace 

To my handsome cousin, hate that I just heard about your passing,  was looking at pictures of you and myyy you look just like our dads , wish we could’ve linked one more time to reminisce of our visits to your house when we were young but looks like you had greater plans, love you Tele & please send my love to my dad 😔

I don't have the words to express my sorrow over hearing of Tele's passing.  I immediately began replaying in my mind all the precious memories of watching my son, Mike, and him growing up. 

The games at OHS, the trip to Disney Land, and so much more. I will seriously miss that laugh and warmth he shared with us for such a brief time here.   I simply can't fathom the incredible grief the family must be going through.  My heart goes out to all of you.

I’m gonna miss having you around & clowning on my brothers Ciscan & Tommy. Till that one sweet day bro ! Keep watching over us ❤️

Hanging out in my garage playing the Xbox, chillin and messing around in my studio and me Nui  and Simon coming to the football games to watch yall play. I am glad I got to know you bro. You will be missed. Manuia lo malaga li Uso.

Tele I have so many wonderful beautiful memories of you in my life and my kids . Christian and my family were blessed to have you in our life’s , from you and all the other boys hanging out at our home from all hours of the night just watching you all laughing and enjoying each other’s company! My best memories is trying to fit all of you in my expedition truck after your OHS games and any where else you all wanted to go but at the end it was always back to our home  to laugh, watch tv or listen to music and talk ! Stacy and I were the most blessed to have you as one of her little brothers  and you Tele as a SON to me ! Tele you will always be here with us forever and always in our HEARTS AND PRAYERS!  You are now with the Angels watching over my family and I ! RIP MY SWEET TELE 🙏🏼!  

One of the kindest people I've ever meant. I worked some of the same shifts with him. I'm heartbroken for the family. He was always so willing to help and kind. We had some good laughs. He will truly be missed. God bless his family. Rest easy Teleso. 💙

My heart aches for the entire family.  I pray you find peace and comfort at this time.  You are one of the great families I have had the special opportunity to know through Pirate football.  All of us who were touched by knowing you, will never forget all of your kind spirits, gracious hearts, love of your fellow man, and fun competitive nature.  Tele was a big addition to the legacy of the Lavea family.  His smile was bigger than he was.  May God bless Tele, and the entire family.  Much respect and love.

Tele, from Nui and I making you and Mas cry after beating you in Halo when you were a young’n, laughing, running into you randomly at AMPM,  and coming through when we needed to hold down the spot for birthdays, I am blessed to have known you. Thanks for all the memories, especially the laughs. You will be missed uso. Until we meet again. Love you Tele Bele... 

This was one of the many times Tele has helped with a birthday party for my kids. Those who live in O’side, or has thrown a child’s birthday party, it is first come first serve at the parks. That meant camping out the night before to calls dibs at a park location. Tele was there whenever I called to ask for help in holding a spot down. We would clown each other all night! He would show every time I called! We love you Tele Bele!! May you sleep well uso! Our loved ones that you reunite with now, send our love God be with you ‘til we meet again!!! #ForeverTele #ForeverJacob #Kisses2TheSky

Tele... such a sweet soul. And every single time he saw me he would run over and give me a kiss on the cheek. He would giggle and run away. It was the best thing ever and sweet. I will miss him. And his kind heart. Rest in Paradise my friend. You will be missed...

Tele my brother ! You where one of a kind person a very good soul uce, and very loving person. I will never forget the time where we kickit in At Shawn it was hot summer day. you sitting on your truck  then your song came by J.cole neighbors came on and you started dancing. I will never forget your smile and that laugh of your uce. Long live Tele aka tyrone 

My uso Tele, 
From the first day we met thru my lil brothers you have always been solid with me and I’ll always be thankful for that especially when we all moved back home you and the boys always made sure to check up on my aunty and grandma at the pad. Our time may have been cut short but my love for you will always remain bro!!! REST IN LOVE MY UCE!!!

Tele, my brother!!! You always loved to come to the house and get me pumped up to come out ready to get down with one of you guys . Many mornings you would be here and I always loved waking up to hear you here at home (most of the time)  because it either meant we were having breakfast burritos or donuts for breakfast lol You always naturally fit in with our family and it always felt like you were our brother from day one. You always had all of our backs, you always listen to me vent and vice versa. I’m going to miss your sarcastic ass and your facial expressions the most because no one could top the eye rolls and the “okaaaaaaaay” . Mostly THANK YOU for stepping into the role of the funny/goofy uncle to Mason. Even though you encouraged him most of the time to talk smack, you also always told him what was up and how to behave. Whenever he knew you were here , his face would light up and he would run to see you. You always played with him, no matter what the game was. And no one can replace that role. We ALL love you and will miss you forever ♥️ 

To The Lavea Family, Our deepest condolences. We are here if you need anything . Also thank you for sharing this amazing human-being that  Tele was with us . 

Tele from the first time I was blessed to have met him exuded so much kindness and warmth.  When he smiled and laughed, you couldn’t help but smile and laugh too!  When he hugged you, you were engulfed with so much love.  Tele had an amazingly HUGE heart and it’s evident by the family and friends that are feeling his huge loss. My prayers go out to his family and friends.   God has someone very very special by His side. 

Uso tele!! Man uce I remember back in the day when you and the rest of the OHS boys would come over to the house to hang out with ciscan. I was like the annoying little sister who loved to bother y’all. I will never forget the night ciscan woke me up to help him & pepe out bc you were KO’d in the backyard! Hahaha I believe the last time I saw you was at one of the boys birthday celebration a couple years ago and we talked about that exact memory! Lol and of course you and ciscan tried tossing me in the pool for it haha. Man uce, you’ve always been such a bright light in this world. Thank you for that! Rest in love and peace uso. Tell my dad I said hi for me please! Til that one sweet day! Long live uso tele! 

I can remember going to OHS Friday night football games to watch my cousins play. During the football games, us kids would have a little tackle football game on the side next to the bleachers. It was street ball. Us kids versus the visiting teams children so the teams weren’t always even. But that was the proving ground before hitting middle school lol. And Tele was the kid everyone tried to tackle but all I saw was a long pony tail and 3 poor kids hanging on his shirt. Nothing but good memories of Tele and a loving family he comes from. My heart is heavy, I love my Lavea family. Rest in love Tele! 

My heart is broken,that child was breathtaking Mormon loved him so much I remember brushing his long locks of hair his heart was ever so sweet Mo said he was his little hulk and said if I ever had a boy I want him just like him God bless you and family thank God we had this time with a real gift blessed are we ,dear family not a day goes by that I don't think of you love April.

I never thought I would find myself at a loss of words. Telè I miss you beyond belief. I miss hearing you always telling me “shut up Gabby and take the shot” lol and sure enough I would shut up and take the shot. I remember when I told you I was moving, you said I better stay in touch and the last time I spoke with you was at the beginning of the month and I planned a trip to come see you. Well I promise I will make that trip. Love you brother 

You will be missed brother! May you RIP brother🙏

Every time we would see each other we would roll our eyes, and immediately start laughing or slapping each other lmao. That’s just the type of friendship we had. One of my the thingsim going to miss most is when I would be trying to talk to you and you would put your hand in my face and go JOCELYN SHH SHH SHUT SHUT SHUT SHUT UP JOCELYN SH SH SHU UP ahhahaha but then we would always end up laughing and just choppin it up. I’m gunna miss your contagious laugh and your big ol bear hugs. And my fav thing about you I’m going to miss is clowning on ciscan haha mannnn! Can’t wait to see you again so I can whoop your ass on dominoes. TILL THAT DAY BROTHER! Love you!!! -Jocelyn, Koa, &Kyler (I’m sure ciscan gunna write his own for you bro)

Memories is something that I will forever cherish and be blessed to have met you in life. From Reynolds Elementary to you being the king of teather ball or to you being able to kick the soccer ball so high in the sky we use to think you had super hero powers. I remember we tried out for the talent show and we didn't make it but it was still cool we tried.  From Raccoons to Pirates we always stayed friends. . As kids we use to play on your dads old camaro and eat all the candy in the garage. Growing up to young men to be able to play football at Oside and enjoy high school memories are forever great memories! Now as we got older to men I would run into you at the bar and we would always talk about those memories. Everyone will definitely be missing your loud laughs and great personality you have but for those who believe in God you always with us uso. Definitely not saying good bye but see you soon in heaven! May the lord bless you and your family uso! Tofa Soifua 

The memories would be the memoirs of JD. Working with you was always a Joy even on rainy days. MY HEART HURT when I learned the news. But I know you would make me laugh and live in Joy so yes I am going to hold high memories too many to isolate 1. From the post tension cable slap  or working the buckets. 

Love you uso

Levea Family we are so sorry for your loss and we pray that the Lord provides your family with the strength you need at these time and in the future. May he shine his light on  you family as he welcomes Tele in to his kingdom. Please don't hesitate to let us know if there is anything at all we can do for your family or even  if you just ever need someone to talk to. Randy and Myrna Ennis (760) 224-6986.
