Our great friend and teacher Wes Letioa has passed away yesterday in his sleep.
We will always remember his great heart, passion and amazing skills.

Wes was a tremendous supporter of the Tiger Claw Elite KungFuMagazine.com Championships. He had that Pacific Island vibe from being born in Samoa and raised in Hawaii. He always came to my afterparties and his presence at TCEC will be sorely missed.

Hi friends,
Our beloved Sifu Wes Letioa has passed away on 12/07/2020 in his sleep. We are going to miss him and will always remember his compassionate heart and amazing skills.

He loved his students so much and they adored him. He always prayed for every single one of his students and his Sifus. His heart embraced all his students. So many of his students would come and tell him their deepest sorrows. Because they knew they were not going to be judged and would only be accepted as who they were.

So many animals around his school and his home loved him, too. They would follow him around. He could not even go to dumster without geese, crows and gulls following him.

We are doing GOFUNDME to help with his memorial service as his friends ask to contribute. We appreciate all the condolences and loving words.

Interesting about the animals.

I suppose it's good that they can hold services during the pandemic. Some of my cousins went to a service locally and several caught covid. They are all almost recovered now but it was a rough go - one was a baby.
