Aloha all,

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of my Dad, Albert R. Santiago Jr., on Saturday, February 7th, 2026. Albert was someone who touched the lives of many Here in North Kohala. As many of you might know he had been very sick for many years prior to his passing and we are left with quite a lot to deal with.

We are absolutely devastated by his sudden passing and not fully prepared for the unexpected costs of a funeral.

We are asking for donations to help cover the costs of the memorial service and His cremation. Any contribution, no matter the size, will help us give my Dad the farewell he deserves.

Thank you in advance for your kindness, support, and for sharing this.
