City of Lemon Grove Mourns Passing of Councilmember Sitivi "Steve" Faiai

Lemon Grove, CA  — We are deeply saddened by the passing of Councilmember Sitivi “Steve” Faiai, whose time in office, though brief, left a meaningful and lasting impact on the community.

During his service on the City Council, Councilman Faiai brought with him a spirit of integrity, collaboration, and heartfelt commitment. He focused on improving public safety, addressing homelessness and further efforts to support youth and families. His priorities reflected a deep sense of community pride and building a cleaner, safer, and more united Lemon Grove.

Councilmember Faiai was a bridge-builder, known for listening with humility and moving forward with a  purpose. He helped usher in a tone of cooperation and respect on the Council that built and inspired trust among his peers and in the community.

His leadership was secured not in politics, but in service to neighbors, families, and the future of Lemon Grove.

Councilmember Faiai’s presence will be greatly missed, but his legacy of kindness, integrity, and leadership will continue to shape Lemon Grove for years to come.

Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and all who had the honor of working alongside him.
