Herva married Ringa Ropo, Junnila’s mother, last year.
Herva died of a long-term illness at the age of 60. The former top triple jumper won several Finnish championships in his career, as he celebrated the SM gold on outdoor tracks four times and on indoor tracks three times.
He was 18th at the European Championships in Helsinki, when he jumped the result with 16.08.
