I knew brahda Matt well...best memory was when I came home from NJ in 1999 (played D3 FB) and a few of the kids on the Bulldogs team was at Palolo District Park, so I said let's play tackle. A game of 6 on 6 turned into 15 on 15. There was a new injuries, but nothing serious. I just remember the joy he had playing with his friends and how serious he was about winning. However, he was humble and kind at the same time. Aloha nui loa. #PaloloBoys4Lyfe

I met him about 10 years ago. Seemed like a great guy, a gentle giant. Unfortunately I never ran into him again. RIP Matt Faga.

Not to detract from the greatness of the man and his contributions to the UH program and community but just wondering if he was vaccinated or not.

Sounds like a gentle giant of a man. Rest in Peace.

Kaimuki really had a moment back then in the late 90's-early 2000's with Matt Faga, the Tautofi's, etc. It made me very happy that Faga and others from my home town were part of UH's success during that time. RIP

Why does it matter? He's gone. We all make our own beds. This is about showing respect for a fallen Rainbow Warrior.

No one going bring up you going hotel street for the "chicks".

No disrespect was intended in the question. No comments were intended if an answer were to come. Hopefully we all can learn and move forward with this pandemic which has not quite ended and taken people too early.
