Two friends who attended primary and secondary school together will now part forever.
Jone Veisamasama and the late Roy Ravana Junior attended Veiuto Primary School together from 2000 to 2007 before attending Marist Brothers High School from 2008 to 2012.
Veisamasama who was the Marist head boy in 2012, the same year Roy left for the USA on a sports scholarship, said it’s unfortunate to lose his childhood friend.
He said Roy was always full of life and people were always happy around him.
Veisamasama added he will never forget the 2011 Coca Cola Games when he dropped the baton in the Intermediate Boys 4 x 400 metres final because it was Roy who stood by his side after the race.
Roy Ravana Junior died after he was shot in South Sacramento, USA yesterday.
