Anoai Family’s Statement On Passing Of Umaga
On behalf of the Anoai Family and front office of WXW C4 it is our sad duty to announce that earlier today, December 4th, we lost another member of not only our wrestling family, but immediate family.
Eki “Umaga” Fatu passed away today in Houston at the age of 36. While we mourn the passing of Eki, we also remember all the good times that we were able to share with him and the smiles on the millions of fans faces around the world when he walked to the ring to do what he loved most: wrestle.
During this difficult time, we please ask for the fans and the press to respect the privacy of his family during this tough time. When there is more information to be made public, his family will do so. The worst thing that could happen would be to have false information about this horrible situation out there, only to make the situation even worse.
We’d like to thank everyone for their sympathy and prayers and ask that everyone celebrate the life of Eki Fatu.

may he rest in peace.
Very sad. R.I.P. Umaga.
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES
Here’s a guy who was doing what he enjoyed doing. How many people can say that about themselves?
On a side note, Keelan, I don’t know if you watched it or not, but on The Ultimate Fighter Finale, Hogan did an interview with Rogan and said that TNA was going head to head with Raw on January 4. You know any more about it? It crossed my mind that they might do it as a one-time thing to test the water. But it seems like their new slot.
You never know with Hogan.
all of my family are wrestling fans and we loved umaga and we will miss him very much.
Shame the WWE let him go and a bigger SHAME that they are not acknowledging his life and death and all that he has given the company! He will be greatly missed and at least his real friends that are still in the WWE have paid homage to him on their myspace and twitter pages. Thanks Hurricane….Shad….Matt Hardy.. Jericho..and the others!
MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BROTHER.MAY YOU R.I.P. AND THANK YOU FOR THE MEMORIES BROTHER PEACE BE WITH YOU.
I loved Umaga. He was so intense, so focused, so dedicated, so unique. May you find your peace, mr Fatu.
long live Umaga !!!!!!
i am sorry about your lost and may god bless you and your family i know how it feels to lose someone that is very special to you
I know he is my Uncle this is tragic to the Anoa’i and the Fatu families……..
