Misty Tuhua Pearson— The Australian Taekwondo Victoria (ATV) community is mourning the loss of Misty Tuhua Pearson, who passed away on August 6, 2024, after a courageous battle with cancer. Misty was a beloved figure in the taekwondo community, known for her cheerful spirit, dedication, and invaluable contributions as a Kyorugi Referee.
Misty’s involvement in ATV was marked by her vibrant energy and friendly nature. She quickly became a respected member, serving in various capacities such as a corner judge, AT, and computer operator during events. Her presence always brightened competitions and gatherings, leaving an indelible mark on everyone she encountered.
To support Misty’s family during this challenging time, a GoFundMe page has been organized by Merinda Cookson. The fundraiser aims to assist with the family’s needs, with a goal of raising $10,000. As of now, $2,915 has been raised from 14 donations, including a generous $2,000 contribution from K C Yorenc and a recent $50 donation from Sharlene Bux.
The community has expressed their condolences and shared memories of Misty on social media. Rick Stilley posted, “RIP,” reflecting the collective grief felt by those who knew her. The ATV Kyorugi Referee Group also shared a heartfelt message, emphasizing Misty’s legacy and the impact she had on the community.
Misty’s greatest joy was her children, and she was deeply involved in their lives through their shared love of taekwondo. She coached and refereed from the sidelines, always encouraging everyone to achieve greatness. Misty’s passion for life and her adventurous spirit were evident to all who knew her. The Royal Empire Martial Arts club has lost a cherished friend, referee, wife, and most importantly, a mother.
Misty’s memory will live on through her family and the community she touched. Her legacy of love, support, and kindness continues to inspire those she left behind.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Misty Tuhua Pearson. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family during this difficult time. Rest in peace, Misty. You will be dearly missed.
