On Thursday January 13, 2022, Paula Tupou Bloomfield Tahi, left this earthly life to live on eternally in the next. As we mourn Paul’s sudden passing, we reflect on all the beautiful memories we shared with our beloved son, brother, nephew, and friend during his 15 years of life.
Paul’s legacy will live on through his mother, Lata Lavender Bloomfield Tahi, father, Pelitisasa Tahi, and his seven sisters, Melelupe, Eniselika, Elisepa, Analongo, Elesi, Tatyana and Maikeli; His Grandmothers’, Utulongoa’a Bloomfield, and Poloni Tahi; His Aunties, Uncles, Cousins & countless number of friends.
Paul was predeceased in death by his loving grandfathers’, Tevita Tuamoheloa Bloomfield and Villiami Tahi, first cousin, Tagiilima Togiai and great-grandmother, Alio Prescott.
Paul was born on October 24,2006 in West Valley City, Utah. Being the only boy in a family of seven girls, Paul held a very special place in his mother’s heart. Paul also had many aunties and uncles who were truly blessed to have him in their lives to love and care for him as their own. Paul was the epitome of family and considered all his first cousins on both sides his brothers and sisters. Paul’s deep roots and love for WVC made him an avid Hunter Football Player, starting as a young boy all the way to high school. His greatest accomplishments were on the field, throwing touchdown passes, especially against his favorite rival team, Granger. Paul had many hobbies, but what brought him the most happiness in life were the simple things like hanging out with his sisters and attending family functions. Paul will be remembered for his constant smile, laughter, and kindness to everyone who surrounded him.
Paul’s final sendoff is as follows:
