Siafa Lavala

It is with deep sadness and in celebration of God's omnipotence, we announce the passing of our son, brother, nephew, uncle, cousin and friend, Siafa Lavala.  On May 17, 1987, God graced our family with a little boy who brought smiles and joy to our lives.  He grew into a man who made us proud, as he lived his life through Christ. Siafa transitioned to his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on November 23, 2015.  He was honorable, big hearted, loving, committed, faithful, passionate, dependable and trust-worthy. What was most admired about Siafa was, he strived daily to walk in the footsteps of his Lord.  Siafa set a legacy at a youthful age. 

He is survived by his mother, Comfort Arku; his siblings James Lavala Jr. (Hope), Ernest A. Jenkins (Small G.I.), Charles A. Dundas(Chucky) (Peggy Dundas), Kezelebah Lavala, Zizi Bestman, Okemia Mitchell Porch (Dennis Porch), Kezele Mitchell & Ma–Wubu Lavala ; his daughters/nieces, Claire Dundas; and a host of uncles, aunties, cousins and friends. Siafa was preceded by his father, James Flomo Lavala Sr. and grandmother, Sando Jallah.
