It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Adrian Aca Small Volavola, who departed this life on July 14, 2025, in Accra, Ghana, at the age of 20.

Adrian was born on February 17, 2005, in Seattle, Washington, to Nina and Timoci Volavola. He was a devoted older brother to Micah, Suzanna, Epeli, TJ, Jowasa, and Gabriel.

Adrian proudly served his country as a United States Marine, embodying strength, courage, and selfless service. His dedication to duty was matched only by the love he had for his family.

He found joy in playing video games, watching animated shows, and spending meaningful time with his younger siblings, who looked up to him with admiration and love.

A faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Adrian lived a life rooted in service, humility, and faith. Though his time with us was brief, his spirit will forever inspire those who knew and loved him.

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith."

— 2 Timothy 4:7
