John Samu Puleanga

John Pule'anga has gone to be with the Lord August 10, 2024, at the age of 38.

He was born on a beautiful December 21st day in 1985.

John was a man who held one of the purest hearts that anyone can ever run into as a form of a stranger that will turn into family. Always gave his last for anyone in need. Sacrificed his time for the ones he was assigned to serve as a brother, male father figure, ear to hear or a shoulder to cry on. If a friend had a face, it was his. He was a lighthouse to the lost, a silent professor to the curious, a wall of love when an aggressor search to hurt someone.

He found Jesus in a friend that became a brother, Victor Okpechi. John then lived his best way to serve well. Chose to get married to Sandra Guajardo because he was seeking the righteousness of the Kingdom of God.

Cancer creeped up and stole this story... revised his story to end too soon. But blessed be the Lord, Jesus Christ, that John got the chance to be at rest from the chains of cancer.

John is survived by his spouse, Sandra Pule'anga; his bonus child, Nathan "Pina"; children he stepped in for, Tukuhausia He Lotu Moala, Kaycie Henry, Nina Henry, Yareli Sotelo, Mariela Pule'anga; bonus dad, Mosese Vea; siblings, Paula Tamale, Ilisapeti Tukuafu, Samy Pule'anga, Leana Bullock, Vaha Pule'anga, Taniela Vea, Vaisinia Pule'anga, Palavi Leka Pule'anga, Tu'itamala Makasini, Alisi Pule'anga, Sulieti Pule'anga; extended family, Temaleti Matafahi, Senituli Matafahi, Elevisi Matafahi, Hiko Matafahi, Siosi Lolohea Matafahi, George Paongo, Emeline Mele Paongo-Toli, Tevita Paongo; as well as many other family and bonus family members to include.
