Mareko Pele Falo

Mareko Pele Falo was born on July 3, 1976 in Faleu Manono, Samoa to his parents Pele Pati & La’avasa Lafoaluga Falo. We just celebrated Mark’s 47th birthday three weeks ago. He passed away on July 21, 2023 at 3:34 A.M. with many of his siblings, nieces and nephews by his side. Mark never had the opportunity to be married. Mark moved to the United States when he was 4 years of age. He grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah and graduated from East High School & has been in the work force since graduation. Mark is preceded in death by his parents Pele Pati Falo, La’avasa Lafoaluga Falo and many many aunts, uncles and nephews. Also his sister Welishia who passed away on May 25, 2020 followed by another sister, Arnee, who passed away on July 23, 2021 are now happily reunited with all the loved ones he knew personally here on earth and many others that he can now remember as the veil has been removed from his eyes. He is survived by many family members too many to be mentioned, but his siblings still living are: from the oldest sister Rarotonga Miti Asalemo (Malae) of Sydney Australia, Kerisiano Falo of Faleu Manono, Samoa, Pauline Matagi (Mose) of West Valley, Utah, Leatua Tui Falo (Sose) of Faleu Manono, Samoa, Pati Kuresa Falo (Myrna) of Friendswood Texas, Rebeka Falo of San Diego, California, Miranda Fenny Davis (Brian) of Green River, Wyoming, Peter Sua Falo of Rock Springs, Wyoming, Leiataua William Falo of West Valley, Utah. He is remembered by many cousins, nieces and nephews, and many more family & friends. Mark is remembered as a mild manner soul who never caused any trouble. His heart is as open as space in that whenever he was asked to do something or asked to contribute, he’s known to say without hesitation, “Sure”. He is willing to give what he has no matter how small, the old adage of ‘he’ll give you the shirt off his back” describes Mark. He inherited from his father a work ethic that is found among all his siblings. Mark would work not only the hours given but also extra hours to make sure the job at hand is completed. Mark has never been known to cause any outburst in anger or shown animosity to others. He doesn’t have a mean bone in his body, always mild mannered and showing kindness in word and deed to many. For the past fourty-seven years Mark has been with us in this mortal journey, he has affected our lives for the better. The Christlike quality of meekness Mark has exhibited comes naturally for as the Lord said, “...walk in the meekness of my Spirit, and you shall have peace in me.” Mark has peace now and into eternity, till we meet again brother. Manuia lou malaga…. We express our thanks and gratitude to Serenity Care for their hospitality in helping ensure our brother had a peaceful send off. We likewise want to express our appreciation to Wasatch Behavioral Health who helped Mark in taking care of his physical and mental needs. Fa'afetai tele lava…
