He was born to Goodly parents; Mele Letua and Ofaatu Misafaleomalietoa Faamausili on May 15th 1959 in Nua, American Samoa. He later moved to the United States. He graduated from Santiago High School in Orange County, California. Served an honorable full-time LDS mission in the #1 Auckland, New Zealand Mission.

They have 6 kids and presently have 4 daughters in-law and 15 grandchildren. Tavita will be remembered for the love he freely gave, his genuine kindness, his loving sense of humor, but most importantly for his unwavering faith and testimony in and of his Savior, Jesus Christ. He provided much, he sacrificed much, he was a man of patience and humility. He was literally the best Dad anyone could ever ask for. He had the biggest heart for anyone and everyone who came into his life. My Dad lived for his 15 grandchildren, raised his kids to be loving, honest, hardworking, humble and especially to stay close to the Lord. He loved his sweet hunny of 33 years and always enjoyed taking her on dates when he could. He never ceased to remind his kids, grandkids, and his siblings how much he loved them. He was a man who loved God and knew that Families are forever. A man who did his best in consecrating all his efforts in serving the Lord. He was a true Disciple of Jesus Christ. Dad, you will never be forgotten though you will be missed greatly by so many we know that God has a plan, a happy one. We know that we will see you again. So loved are you, so loved by many. Alofa Tele Dad.
