On behalf of Shalei Kekiwi-Eleneki she has requested the help to create this GoFund me to help ease some of the financial burdens of the funeral costs.

It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating loss of our beloved Michael Taione, who was taken from us far too soon in a tragic car accident.

Michael was truly one of a kind. He was a good person in every sense of the word—kind, generous, and always thinking of others. He had a way of bringing laughter and joy into every room he entered. His smile, his humor, and his warmth made people feel welcome and loved, and his absence leaves an immeasurable void in the lives of all who knew him.

This unexpected loss has left Michael’s family and loved ones not only grieving but also facing unforeseen expenses during an incredibly difficult time. We are raising funds to help ease the financial burden related to funeral and memorial costs, as well as to support his family as they navigate life without him.

Any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Michael’s family in your thoughts and prayers.

The Taione, Eleneki, and Kekiwi Ohana thank you for your love, kindness, and support as we come together to honor Michael’s life, his legacy, and the joy he brought to so many.
