Emaloni was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

Emaloni or Loni as he is better known by family and friends was one of the kindest people. He liked to play soccer and basketball, even though he wasn’t very good at playing basketball. He wanted to try everything from sports to outdoor activities at least once and as long as he was around good people. Before his passing he developed a love for baking and being in the kitchen. Above everything he loved being a father and spending quality time with his son.

Loni leaves behind a very large family who love him very much and his absence is felt deeply.
