It was so nice meeting you and I thank you for always being so nice to me when I would come over for sleepovers for the girls. Your smiley “sup liyah”, watching that one REALLY good scary movie and you eating my dishes id make (brave of you lol) I will always remember and appreciate. I am so sorry for everyones loss and may Uncle Juice rest in peace.

Everyone says I should not leave the island because of the complicated travel process to come from American Samoa and the dangers of being exposed to Covid. I promised you several times I would come see you and I never made it. Nothing short of death would prevent me now. See you soon brother. I love you.

Juice was a big part in raising me and never wanted me calling him uncle. For as long as I could remember, this man was in my life. From Nevada, to Hawaii. I will never forget when we would walk to the lumpia place in front of Sack n Save then grab all the pork and little ceasers cheesesticks. To this day, I am up one on the streetfighter 1v1s. I never caught up to him in World of Warcraft. All the way to my senior year in high school, Juice and I were always on the same page. Until he left me in the middle of 2012, he could watch over me and I always had my bestfriend. When there was no one to speak to.. I had Juice. No matter what time of the day I could wake up and go kick it in Juice's room and all my problems would go away. He taught me my humor, my competitive personality from video games and how to live a care free life. No matter how much time passed, whenever we talked .. it felt like we spoke to each other everyday. I wish you moved with me to Utah like I wanted so I could take care of you. I wish I came to Arizona in December even after you told me not to. I will love you forever and whenever I think family.. your name and face will be in my heart forever. I know you're kicking it with your homie Jesus, I'll come see you to do our handshake later.
Without Juice.. I would never be me and I'll think about him forever.
Your favorite nephew,
Anthony Mailo
ps dog, sorry I can't make it to the funeral. I know you're in a better place but I lowkey hope you haunt my dreams forever. Bye love you
