I really wanted to take my time to try and find the right words to express my feelings regarding the passing of my Uncle Gataivasã AFA Amituana’i Anoa’i, and sometimes there are no “right words.”

I choose to remember and reflect on what the world didn’t see or have access to, simple fun times with just my Uncle and me and in those moments of private time, I witnessed a man who loved professional wrestling more than anything and wanted to teach it to anyone willing to do the work, and I mean WORK!

I can’t remember the amount of times Uncle Afa would have me build a ring just to tear it down again and then build it again, over and over, all damn day, and me asking myself, “what the hell does this have to do with wrestling?” Not knowing he was teaching me the foundation of the business and how to understand it piece by piece and how everything is always connected…you learn more by DOING!

My Uncle Afa leaves behind a long legacy within the world of professional wrestling, however, what he leaves for me personally is priceless memories & lessons learned that will rest in my heart forever and I remain grateful.

Rest In Power The Wild Samoans Forever !! Love and Respect .

When I think of my Uncle Sika, the first word that comes to mind is MENTOR; he was my first trusted adviser, confidant, and someone who always spoke his mind! As a professional, he showed me all of the ropes, (literally) and guided me on "roadlife," and being one of the boys. But more importantly, as my Uncle, he taught me to slow down, take my time, and truly ENJOY life.  We both loved living in Pensacola and appreciated the slower pace of life. My Uncle had perfected his "Samoan Southern Drawl." My Uncle Sika's roots began in Samoa, however, with his chosen profession and limitless talents, he touched the world! Yes, he was WILD and I could go on and on with stories, but for now, I simply want to express my deep gratitude for what I was able to experience with him. He will forever remain in my heart and mind. While my heart breaks for my family, I'm reminded that God makes NO mistakes and I'm comforted that he's now with my Mom and that makes me smile. Thank you, Uncle Seek, I love you, FLY HIGH.
