Our church family stands together in remembrance as we honour the life of the one we lovingly call a Son of the House, a brother, a friend, and a faithful servant of the Lord, whom most of our church affectionately called “Fatty” Willie Tavila Sinclair.
Though his latter years carried hardship, they do not diminish the depth of his influence or the impact he left upon our hearts. For many years our church prayed and fasted for his healing, and while we grieve the absence of his physical presence, we rejoice in the fullness of his restoration. He has entered the place where there is no more sorrow, no more sickness, and pain has lost its power. To God be the glory for the life of our beloved Son.
Willie is remembered for many things, yet to us he remains the kind, loving, laughter filled brother we cherished. He was our gentle giant, a man who devoted more than half his life to our church and our ministry. People may forget, but heaven does not forget his labour of love, his service, and his faithfulness on this side of eternity.
Today we celebrate his life. This week we honour his love. And though this may be his final Sunday in our church, it is not the final chapter of Wi***es story. His legacy continues, his impact remains, and his testimony still speaks.
Manuia lau Malaga Willie.
Our prayers surround Fuimaono and Penerosa Sinclair, Louise and Saia, Losa and Maauga, Tusa and Sula, and the entire Fuimaono & Sinclair families. May the peace of God uphold you, and may His comfort be your strength.
