Tevita West Ma'ake
May 22, 2022 - May 23, 2022
Tevita West Ma’ake May 22, 2022 – May 23, 2022 Tevita West Ma’ake was born on May 22, 2022, at the Riverton Hospital in Riverton, Utah to his loving parents, Tuavao Anthony Lee Ma’ake and Natalie Lindsay Ma’ake. Born preterm at 21 weeks, Tevita was a beautiful, yet tiny baby boy weighing only 13 ounces and being 9.5 inches in length. In his sweet face, you could see traits of both of his parents’ features- Tuavao’s nose and Natalie’s chin. Tevita was a healthy and strong baby, and he had a determination to spend as much time as he was able being surrounded by the love of his parents before returning home to our Heavenly Father. Though his life was short, the two and a half hours that were shared in the hospital will always be sacred moments for Tuavao and Natalie. During that time, both were able to hold Baby Ti close and express their great love for him, and he in turn was able to grasp their fingers in his hand- showing a love that will be eternal. Shortly after midnight, on May 23, 2022, Tevita passed away peacefully. Though we grieve his loss and wish we could have had the chance to have more time with him here on earth, we are so grateful for our testimonies of the Plan of Salvation and the blessing of eternal families that comes from being sealed in the temple. We take comfort in knowing our Baby Ti is now our angel in heaven, and that we will be reunited with him someday. Tevita is survived by his parents, his big sister Hailey, and his grandparents, Tevita Tuliakiono Ma’ake and Kueni Matakaiongo Ma’ake, and Kirk West Lindsay and Sharon Hansen Lindsay. Baby Ti will be laid to rest at the Spring City Cemetery, on May 31, 2022 at 1 pm. Family and friends are welcome to join his family for a grave side service there.
