Brian's obituary

Brian Luaono Taepati passed away on 01/19/2024 in Riverside, California

Brian's passing was tragic and sudden. He was a light in the world who wanted so much to love and be loved. For the last 10 years, he was struggling with mental illness and addiction. He did what he could to survive and the system failed him. He was orphaned since he was an infant and grew up in abusive conditions. 10 Years ago, He came to us broken. He found peace and renewed his life by turning to God. He was baptized as member of the Church of Christ. Those were the happiest moments of his life. He wanted so much to become a choir member. He also wanted to help people, especially those who are in need and homeless. He was kind, loving, always greeting people with a big smile. He dressed himself neatly and appeared confident, but deep down inside he was suffering and battling voices, which led him to a life of depression and sorrow. He walked a lonely path and wanted so much to love and be loved. I believe that is all he ever truly wanted. If you knew him, you would know his heart and his beautiful, funny, sincere, and loving personality. He was a person you will never forget. He deserves a proper memorial and to be remembered as a kind, loving Brother, Uncle, Friend, and Believer of God. We will remember and celebrate his life because he was loved and included as part of our family. Please help us in our endeavors to raise funds for his funeral expenses and memorial.  Thank You for all your kindness and may God bless you.
