Viliami Atomi Palepale Obituary (1945

Our beloved husband, father, patriarch, Viliami Atomi Palepale, born the 7th of September 1945 left us physically early morning the 1st of May 2024. From the Kingdom of Tonga this visionary man had plans to bring his family to the land of opportunity. In doing so, the only way to fulfill his heart, mind, and soul is to marry the one who never quit. The one who continuously stalked and chased him on and off the soccer/cricket field. Traveling from island to island and state to state, he has seen many things. Learned many things. Done many things. His journey had settled in Orem, UT amongst the ones he loved so deeply. He is survived by his beautiful, loving wife, Ilaisa Palepale; 4 daughters, Anaseini, Elisapeti “Kuipo”, Sara, Akanesi, and their spouses; 4 sons, Alipate, Samisoni, Soane, Mark, and their spouses; 37 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. This exceptional spiritual giant has touched many hearts with his smile and sense of humor no one can compare. Hanging out and BBQ is what he loved to do with family and friends, so come share some good stories, memories, laughs, and food all day Wednesday May 8th, 2024 at the Palepale home. You are welcome to join us in celebrating his life at 9:00 a.m., Thursday, May 9, 2024, at the Orem 8th Tongan Ward, 150 East 600 North, Orem, UT 84057. BISHOP SERVICES will follow at 12:00 p.m. Interment will be in the Orem City Cemetery. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.bergmortuary.com.
