Families Are Forever
Daniel Sateki Lao, beloved husband and loving father, passed away peacefully in his sleep December 9, 2003 at home with his family.
He was born August 8, 1973 at the home of his Grandpa and Grandma Whitlock to Sione Latu Lao and Shanna Whitlock Blackburn. He married Karen Christine Aalto on August 16, 1997. They have two beautiful daughters, Keilani Marie and Brooklyn Elizabeth.
Daniel was a great man who loved many things. He was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served an honorable mission in Tucson, Arizona. He was an avid BYU fan, a football season ticket-holder for the past few years. Daniel was very proud of his Tongan heritage and embraced every chance he had to learn about the culture. He enjoyed politics, he was the Event Coordinator for the Hola campaign, and more recently supported Jon Huntsman for Governor. Daniel was a passionate man and was able to express himself through writing and poetry. He was most importantly a family man. He found a best friend and lover in Karen as they shared a great appreciation for travel, movies and music. Together, they worked hard to provide many things for their daughters, Lani and Brookie. He will be greatly missed by his wife and daughters.
