Hurricane, UT - Tomasi Zundel Takau, age 52, died on July 29, 2021 in St. George, Utah surrounded by his family. His death was caused by complications due to COVID-19. He was born on October 15, 1968, in Neiafu, Vava'u Tonga to Viliami Elisapeta Lita Takau. He married Elizabeth Ann Zundel Takau in the Laie Temple on September 5, 1992.

Tomasi was raised on the island of Vava'u, Tonga, where he excelled in school and rugby. He was recruited to play rugby at BYU-Hawaii and later served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in New Zealand. He met and married his eternal companion in Hawaii and started his family. Rugby continued to bless his life when he was recruited to play for the USA Rugby team.

He traveled the world playing at the highest level in his sport and rubbing shoulders with legends. He retired from his Rugby career to assume the position of full-time dad and all-knowing coach. His expertise covered everything in life, sports of every kind to politics and education. He was devoted to his kids and gave everything he had to help them succeed. When he became a Grandaddy, he was an even better grandfather and loved his grandbabies!

Tomasi was very talented with his hands and when he wasn't with his family, he was creating beautiful masonry work as a General Contractor. He loved to learn, and he loved his politics. He died a staunch, Trump loving, patriot who loved his country! Tomasi was an example of service, humility and Christ-like love to everyone he came in contact with.

He is survived by his wife Elizabeth Takau; children: Kalistina, Joseph (Lexi Mae), Ammon (Allison), Enoch, Seth and Elizabeth Takau; grandsons: Valor Viliami, Villiami Tomasi, and Tomasi Takau III, who all reside in the greater St. George area; his mother Lita Takau of Portland, Oregon; his siblings: Valini Sanft, George Takau, Feao, Umu, and many in-laws, nieces and nephews.
