Whilst there will never ever be another Tunumafono Fa'amoetauloa Ava Fa'amoe, his life was dedicated to laying multiple foundations for all tagata sa'ilimālō (Pacific disabled peorsons) to rise, lead & live life to their potentials.

Ia pa'u se toa ae tula'i se toa. May a leader of equal wit rise through the legacy cornerstoned by Tunumafono.

It is with profound sorrow and deep respect that we announce the passing of le afioga Tunumafono Fa’amoetauloa Ava Fa'amoe, MNZM (Ava), the cherished founder and National Executive Officer of the Tōfā Mamao Collective. Tunumafono’s visionary leadership, marked by unwavering dedication and an unapologetic commitment to the success of all tagata sa’ilimalo (Pacific disabled person), has steered the Tōfā Mamao Collective with remarkable compassion, courage, and wisdom.

His legacy is woven through every bold step taken towards a more inclusive future for tagata sa’ilimalo, nofo-a-kainga (their families), and tautua soifua (carers and supporters). The very name Tagata Sa’ilimalo – “people in pursuit of success” – perfectly embodies Tunumafono spirit and the hope he so generously inspired in all those around him.

We honour the extraordinary life and enduring legacy of le afioga Tunumafono Fa’amoetauloa Avaula Fa’amoe, MNZM, whose work has left an indelible mark on the Tōfā Mamao Collective and the wider Pacific disabled community. Through Tunumafono’s tireless efforts, families and supporters have found a renewed sense of belonging and strength, and his vision for a world where every individual is valued and empowered continues to guide us. The hope and optimism he instilled remain alive, encouraging us all to strive for greater inclusivity and compassion.

In recent years, Tunumafono continued his vital work as Chief Executive Officer of Tagata Sa’ilimalo Trust and through his leadership of the Tangaroa Sa’ilimalo Collective, always seeking innovative ways to support tagata sa’ilimalo. His life’s mission was to honour the strengths, cultures, and dreams of Pacific disabled people, and he remained a beacon of hope, compassion, and encouragement throughout his career.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to Tunumafono’s family and loved ones as they navigate this profound loss. May they find comfort in the immense impact he made and the love and respect he inspired.

Manuia tele lau malaga Tunumafono Fa’amoetauloa Avaula Fa’amoe. O oe o se ta’ita’i fa’agalo gatā.

Your journey inspires us all, and your service will never be forgotten.
