| Published by Today's News Herald on Sep. 29, 2024 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - After 58 years as son and brother, 31 years as husband and father, and 20 years as Deacon (Dcn.) of the Roman Catholic Church, Patrick Toilolo was called home on Sept. 24, 2024. He is survived by Kalala Toilolo, his wife of 31 years, and children: Aloisia, Iosefo, Ierenimo (predeceased), Iosua, and Malia. Who was Deacon Patrick Toilolo? Born of Ierenimo and Sosefina Toilolo, raised in Southern California. He was one of eight children: Ierenimo, Andrew (Liz), Judy (Sio), Abbott Damian, Matthew (Audrey), Ioane (predeceased), John (predeceased). Be not afraid. I will be with you always. Words taken directly from Dcn. Patrick's last homily, although barely able to deliver due to fighting cancer, he drew strength from the power of scripture and the sacraments. As Director of Music, Liturgy, and Evangelization at Our Lady of the Lake Roman Catholic Church, many lives have been impacted by his witness and example. He was a gentle soul who turned no one away and was always willing to go the extra mile. Crafty with a snarky comment during heavy moments to lighten the mood, and gifted with music in more ways than one, especially in the Liturgy. Deacon and his wife, Kalala, began each day praying the Divine Office at 4 a.m. before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. Receiving Jesus in the Eucharist daily at Mass, they drew their strength for the ups and downs of life's journey. Deacon Patrick lived Joshua 24:15, As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. If you've been away from Church, come back. Your Heavenly Father awaits you! A visitation and rosary will take place on Oct. 4, from 6-8 PM at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church. A Mass will take place October 5, at 11 AM at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church. A graveside will immediately follow at Lake Havasu Memorial Gardens. A reception will follow at the Columbian Hall.
